I'll take "things that never happened' for $800, Alex

That's about the only reason to visit the US, infact BBQ is specifically what I've always considered a major draw. That and nature.

So the plan is grab some Texas BBQ then drive 20 hours north to Grand Teton National Park or something.

Texas is a state where barbecue is basically the main religion behind Christianity

Now they'll stick you in a cell and who knows if you'll get let back out.

Let us expand on that namely on application list all your family links along with social media accounts with passwords. Then on arrival they search your phone looking for negative US or Trump comments or media. Getting denied entry and kicked out is nice compared to if something is wrong with your application or you overstay (even at their request) when then jail time, denied communication, then lots possible I would not desire to state.

I remember the trailers for some movie a few years ago. A gentleman from India wanted to go to the hometown of some famous rock slash country singer? And there was a questioning at Customs where he was asked what the purpose of his visit was.

"*city name*"

Customs: I can't question anyone who would not visit the birthplace of an American hero. Enjoy your stay

Graceland? Although Elvis wasn't really that country I guess.

4 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No it wasn't Graceland. I remember that much. Post 2010 I'm pretty sure. His family didn't approve of the music. My brain says maybe Johnny Cash?

Back when te USA was good, a Pedo was not President and they still had the Gulf of Mexico

awwww... you're not going to stand up for Greg Abbott ?

It's still the Gulf of Mexico, just the deranged fuckers started calling it something else. And we've never really been "good" just more subtly "evil".

The US was never that good, it just had a more competent PR team. The rot that spawned the likes of Trump has always been there.

4 months ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 2

but it really ramped up after 2001. For me, that is the visible TURNINGPOINT.

Real as in what? It was filmed before ai if that’s what you mean.

I guess as in is he actually saying that (I've never heard it with sound) and is it a genuine response from him to all the "Thanks Obama" stuff that was going around.

4 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

He is saying it, and it is a response to the "Thanks, Obama" stuff, but it was a BuzzFeed video, not like an official press release or anything, so depends how deeply you want to consider "genuine" I guess lol

Texas is great but so is Memphis especially during Memphis in May. Great BBQ and music.

4 months ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

Personally prefer NC bbq, but Memphis is really good.

4 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I argued with a guy online about whether Memphis or KC had better BBQ. But neither of us had had the other one. So we really can't argue.

I lived in Texas for a couple years. I was disappointed in Texas BBQ

That's because you were too late to go to Stubb's. I mean the real Stubb's before he died, not the sham I found in Austin a few years ago.

Is that why it sucked!?

4 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yes. It used to be a completely different thing when he was alive. I was appalled at the place I found. It has been something like 30 years, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I dunno, I thought people would want to preserve the legacy. He had such an impact on the music.

Honestly the best BBQ in Texas was at a smoked meat store within a gas station near round rock. That place was great

4 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's nothing special. We have been able to replicate it - and improve it - in California for over 100 years. TX bbq is good, but it's in TX.

Yeah that’s the whole thing, it’s fine if they make the best anything, but if it’s in Texas they can keep it, I’ll never go again.

I've lived over 20 years in each state and California BBQ doesn't come close? The only way CA is better is that you can eat it in CA.

Recently moved out of KC, and my family immediately sent me a care package of all of the best KC BBQ sauces. Every home should have this

But then you also have to be in Missouri, which I think is a large negative

Love Texas brisket, Memphis dry rub, NC mustard sauce and KC sauce too. I love that all those options are available.

That NC mustard sauce on a pulled pork sandwich... mmmm

4 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Sir/ma'am/non-binary pal, it is SOUTH Carolina that does mustard sauce. NC sauce is hot pepper vinegar sauce.

Pulled pork with NC hot pepper vinegar sauce is PEAK.

THANK YOU! But we can’t forget the distinction between eastern and western NC bbq.

4 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I'm so much of a tourist that I had no idea that the sectarian divisions went so granular.

4 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's funny you mention that because east/west Carolinas is how we have the jurisdictions divided at my company. I imagine the differences stem from more than just bbq flavor disagreements...

4 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I think it's all vinegar based for NC; I've only seen the mustard based sauce labeled as SC.
