I'm not talking about "Korean barbeque." Their "version" isn't even BBQ to begin with.

I saw a thread on here (3 years ago) talking about real southern food...baked beans, pulled pork sandwiches, corn, potato salad, etc.

does this even exist anywhere? even itaewon? i'm getting so hungry thinking about it....

BBQ ribs with sides of beans and coleslaw can be found at Hooters. There's one in Apgujeong and one in Gangnam.

I've also seen ribs at TGIFridays. Or was that at Outback?

I would kill (a small animal....ok, maybe a lot of bugs) for some southern Q. I'm from NC and AFAIK you just can't get that here.

And I'm no chef...

No doubt. Good BBQ is done on feel, you can have a general outline of what you need but getting down to exact measurements? Foolishness.

I've lived in NC for a long time. It's actually funny reading this thread, because after eating a plate of pulled pork barbecue you realize that it's just a mass of greasy, salty s*it that makes you not want to eat any more for a long time.

Now we did have some parties where my friend cooked whole pigs. That was really good.

Who says Korean barbecue isn't real barbecue? You must not have been to the right restaurants. There's a book in the US written by an American grilling "expert" called like the "Barbecue bible" or something. The dude traveled all over the world and stayed for awhile to try all different types of barbecue. The book says that Koreans make some of the best barbecued meat around. Of course that kind of thing is subjective.

You won't find real American barbecue anywhere except America. Let's keep it that way.

I love Korean Barbecue and American as well. Barbecue in the Carolinas is okay, but I prefer Texas style which puts less emphasis on pork and has more beef. It's hard to even find good barbecue beef brisket in Carolina -- every place is just pulled pork blah blah with a mustard-based sauce. I used to go this place Rudy's in Texas and New Mexico that had the best barbecue -- brisket, beef and pork ribs, smoked chicken and turkeys, sausages, trout, pulled pork --- all of it served at a reasonable price with a stack of white bread and any side you wanted (baked beans, corn, dirty rice, slaw etc) and a great selection of sauces. They also had plenty of peppers (pickled and raw japs, serannos and so on) and onions to eat on the side. Great iced tea too. Hmmmmmm

The Hooters BBQ was done exactly right, just like southern BBQ.


We also must make it clear that in the north, especially in North Carolina, their BBQ is not southern BBQ as it has a vinegar based sauce, not the good tomato based sauce. And out on the west coast, BBQ is simply grilled meat.

Let's keep real "BBQ" southern BBQ.

Again, the best barbecue is in Memphis area or the Texas region.

Oh, man, you just had to slip that in, didn't you? I used to frequent Rudy's in Austin and one would be hard pressed to find better except in a backyard. Texas BBQ is king in my book, Memphis comes second and Carolina is a distant third. Fall off the bone chicken with the sauce. I can't even dwell on it now. Two-inch chops smoldering for three days in a slow pit made of old oil drums out near the ranch lines west of Austin in mesquite country. Nothin' like it.

Tony Roma's in Seoul has BBQ but it's mostly Carolina style but better than Outback anyhow.

well all i've had is texan bbq. i'm actually in texas at the moment and just had some yesterday Very Happy

i grew up in abilene, home of Harold's Pit BBQ (and his world famous sauce). celebrities from all over america come here just to eat, its pretty cool. and it's just a small hole in the wall restaurant that's been run by a black family for 50 or so years. it's amazing.
