Killen's in Pearland is supposed to be the best! Was ranked #2 in America in 2015. Haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Why Is Brooklyn Barbecue Taking Over the World?

North Carolina BBQ is bad, and this article has nothing sbout the american regionalism of bbq but rather the hipster/commercialism that happens in williamsburg brooklyn. No one calls that north brooklyn, because north brooklyn is fucking queens. The author of the article is going out of his way from calling it williamburg.
Killens is a tad overrated. My friend owns Truth BBQ in Brenham, that stuff is amazing. Also, they are building a second location in Houston too so get hype.
From the article it sounds like 'brooklyn bbq' doesn't refer to a style of food but a style of restaurant.
Just ate this brisket from arbys today. Wasn't the best but it sure as hell is better than Brooklyn Brisket, I'm sure.
Not sure if serious.
Brooklyn brisket is absolutely delicious (and yeah, I've been to Franklin's in Austin). The only problem with Brooklyn barbecue is it's expensive to fill up your tray, but that's New York for you. The food itself is very, very good.
Apartment solidarity. We make do with what we have. That said, I'm really looking forward to having a yard someday where I can smoke and grill meat properly.
And yeah, we've got solid BBQ in Chicago, but you don't hear people saying it's taking over the world. Probably mostly because it just emulates other regions' BBQ and isn't ashamed of it.
This thread made me miss my dad's barbecue.
I feel like my chest hair just got 50% fuller.
Holy crap can I hang out with your dadThis thread made me miss my dad's barbecue.
As someone born in Brooklyn and has had real BBQ down south that shit is hilariously bad. Brooklyn BBQ is trash.
Hahaha probably, he loves hosting people over there.
- order every item
- one bite of each item??? or they make the review after one bite?
Seems kind of wasteful
been living down south for the last 4 years. It's disgusting how much they charge you up north for "bbq" and giving you clown portion sizes on top of the price. I never go to BBQ joints back home because of this.
Hometown has been the best bbq spot in the city for some time. We not about to trash it.
My first thought on this. It's a direct and poor imitation of the "original" BBQ approaches in Texas at places like Black's.
Half the shit they eat on this looks boring, dry or just plain douchey. Perfect textured rib my ass.
Dry looking mac and cheese they threw queso onto? What?
The cornbread looks dry as hell (thank you Georgian family for tuning me into real cornbread).
The sandwiches look okay, but they're too small for goddamned $15.
Hometown is a ripoff (like most things here), but the BBQ is extremely good. None of what I had was dry, least of all the cornbread. I remember them dumping at least a quart of some sort of honey/butter liquid over a fresh tray of cornbread.
If you have to dump a bunch of liquid over your fresh cornbread your cornbread is bad. I can accept people putting sauce on their BBQ if they want it on there, I won't be a dick about that to anyone, but you don't do that to cornbread.
Ok well the cornbread wasn't bad, it was actually great
Maybe your Georgian family doesn't have the only good method of making cornbread?
rodney scott is legit. charleston actually has some legit bbq nowadays, used to just be bessingers, jim 'n nick's, and hometeam
also whole hog bbq >
all day long
Things in New York City cost more than they do elsewhere.
That said, $6 for a cup of beans is pretty insane. Doesn't seem like they priced the side items very well.
