BBQ

There's also a South Carolina mustard-based BBQ, but that [censored] is nasty.

I just spent a week in SC and couldn't agree more. What an unpleasant surprise.

Anyone who considers anything other than pork to be BBQ is sadly misinformed. That said, my three favorite places for ribs are (in no particular order):

Memphis, TN--Rendezvous

Tuscaloosa, AL--Dreamland. They now have other locations but the only other one I've eaten at is the one in Mobile. It reminds me of a fern-bar rather than a BBQ joint. Dreamland in Tuscaloosa used to have a brilliant sign on the wall reading, "No beans. No slaw. Don't ask!"

Hattiesburg, Mississippi--Leatha's. It used to be located in an old run-down house on a dirt road (more like a cow-path) outside a much smaller town. Perfect for a BBQ joint!
