I seem to recall Pitmaster T telling about making pulled pork for a church event or something in Texas, and some of the natives telling him it was the best brisket they'd ever had.
I'm certain that a whole lot of these negative ideas that people get, come from having one bad experience at a tourist trap that makes terrible BBQ. |

I like American style BBQ. If it ain't American it ain't BBQ! I don't want to eat no pinko commy BBQ, that's for sure.

I have not tried to BBQ anything yet but plan to try in the near future but from what I have read in the forum one of the things that bbq does is render the fat. IMO pork gravy tastes better than beef gravy so it would make sense to me that pork bbq would be a little more flavorful. It is also my opinion that if it is good bbq it really doesn't matter that much and if he likes your ribs so much that he asked you to some for him then it seems logical that he would like your pulled pork as well and should not say no to it just because he is from Texas.

Meh. Like others have said some folks regardless of where they live will be closed minded about stuff. Folks would be surprised what they would like if they gave it a chance. I for one love pulled chuckie sammies just as much as I love pulled pork sammies. As a matter of factly if I had one of each on my lunch plate right now I would be extremely happy.

Not intending to offend any of our Texas brethren but since moving to Northwest Louisiana I have learned that Texas folk is proud folk. They LOVE being from Texas and are very proud of anything from Texas. And in some cases saying your favorite "something" is "something" not from Texas is by default insulting Texas. Even though you never said as much. Proud folk I say. Very proud.

Being from the north country of Minnesota most people here wouldn't know good Q if it reached out and bit them. In the church basement culture of my youth, BBQ meant sloppy joes served on a bun during a church social. The only smoking that is "native" up here is a few old timers that are good at smoking fish and some locals who have/had farm skills that are dying fast like curing and smoking a country ham. Everything I have learned about smoking beef, pork, and chicken I did through reading and studying about other parts of the country and trying to emulate the best I could with the equipment I could afford. I think I am doing a pretty tasty job of things but I am not "native" with my skills. That being said I seem to try more variety than other parts of the country where they might have a strong loyalty to one animal, cut, or technique.

One of the great things about BBQ, it is a national obsession, at least eating it is. But, it can be incredibly polarizing as well. Lots of folks know what they grew up with, and that is what they are going to go with. Often, you have a bad experience, and form an opinion. I would have told you I don't much care for chopped BBQ beef sandwiches for years, after eating quite a few bad ones, then I had a good one, changed my view.
There is also the conversation of how narrow you want to define a certain food or style of cooking. Lots of folks want BBQ to be one thing, and not allow for a more open definition. I am in the school that folks can call it BBQ is that is how they communicate, I will be clear what I am cooking for my own standards.

Don't sell yourself short on how good our smoked fish is though. There is some stellar smoked fish (salmon, white fish, etc.) in this state. OP, the only thing you can do in a situation like yours is to just smile and not say anything. Some people are just closed minded and no matter how wrong their beliefs are, they just will not change. Kind of like politics. |

Ever talk to someone from Maryland about doing a crab boil or clam bake in California? Every bit as closed-minded at times.

He said "GOOD BBQ." Just because it's BBQed does't make it good.
