Favorite BBQ Eatery

[mittman]

Bunyan's is great. However, it is not really the meat that makes it for me there. It is that incredible slaw. I could dip roaches in it and enjoy the meal.

Where do you like to go for BBQ?
When I come home to Alabama next week, I will make it a point to get some Bunyan's BBQ.

Is Bunyan's near ECM hospital in Florence?
Went there when visiting a sick relative several years ago . . the 'cue WAS yummy.

All I know is it tastes good.

A blind taste test would be interesting. I wonder if we might learn similar lessons as have been learned in the wine world:

Does All Wine Taste the Same

What can we learn from these tests? First, that tasting wine is really hard, even for experts. Because the sensory differences between different bottles of rotten grape juice are so slight—and the differences get even more muddled after a few sips—there is often wide disagreement about which wines are best. For instance, both the winning red and white wines in the Princeton tasting were ranked by at least one of the judges as the worst.

The perceptual ambiguity of wine helps explain why contextual influences—say, the look of a label, or the price tag on the bottle—can profoundly influence expert judgment. This was nicely demonstrated in a mischievous 2001 experiment led by Frédéric Brochet at the University of Bordeaux. In one test, Brochet included fifty-four[SUP]4[/SUP] wine experts and asked them to give their impressions of what looked like two glasses of red and white wine. The wines were actually the same white wine, one of which had been tinted red with food coloring. But that didn’t stop the experts from describing the “red” wine in language typically used to describe red wines. One expert said that it was “jammy,”[SUP]5[/SUP] while another enjoyed its “crushed red fruit.”

Another test that Brochet conducted was even more damning. He took a middling Bordeaux and served it in two different bottles. One bottle bore the label of a fancy grand cru, the other of an ordinary vin de table. Although they were being served the exact same wine, the experts gave the bottles nearly opposite descriptions. The grand cru was summarized as being “agreeable,” “woody,” “complex,” “balanced,” and “rounded,” while the most popular adjectives for the vin de table included “weak,” “short,” “light,” “flat,” and “faulty.”

I think sip and a few other Walker Countians would back me on this one.
Green Top BBQ

I was always a Slick Lizard man.

Or in the water world. http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2010/11/18/why-does-bottled-water-taste-better/
Not a scientific study, but it at least reinforces my beliefs. Which is the point of scientific studies anyway :wink:.

Y'all can cross off The Goal Post I've been bragging about, apparently the newest owners, have decide to close it down..Hopefully someone comes along & buys it so it will eventually be reopened..That really suxs..

"Fill your gizzard at Slick Lizard". I have eaten at the one in Nauvoo, Al. It was really good.

I couldn't agree more -- the Shed here in Mobile was horrible. We continue to stick with the Brick Pit & a little hole in the wall place on Airport called "Big Al's".

I have been getting posts on my FB page that The Meat Boss on Cottage Hill Road is outstanding, some are saying the best in Mobile. We are going to try it soon. Brick Pit was very good but inconsistent, meat-wise...once got ribs that were almost 90% fat, and since it was takeout and I lived a ways away I couldn't take it back, just never went back. Then someone told me that they only get their meat once a week, and if you go the day before that you will sometimes get crappy meat. That level of inconsistency I have a problem with; but this was 15 years ago, so maybe things have changed.

Home of the BBQ pizza!

Jim and Nick's is a decent place to go for BBQ. When my wife and I visit our son in Nasville we always go to Jim and Nick's on Charlotte. Another good place is BBQ-Cutie in Donelson.

Never ate at the one in Nauvoo. I ate at the Slick Lizzard drive thru at the Walston Bridge/78 hwy intersection (good bbq)..... Green Top owns it now (still good bbq).

Been a very long time since I've had truly great BBQ

I'll have to try that one next time I'm in Jasper.

If you know the intersection you can't miss it....I think it's College Hill Plaza or something like that.

I decided to dig this old thread up to give a big thumbs up to BoneLick in Atlanta. Very good BBQ and the nawdog is just awesome. We have adopted this place as the go to place for Friday lunch.
