    When you’re comparing it to Texas BBQ, it all looks the same

      Texan here: born and raised. Comparing Texas BBQ to other styles of BBQ is like trying to compare dogs: they’re all wonderful.

      Although some look funny or smell bad.

      Other than that, trying to define one kind as superior to all others is just as asinine as dog shows. You might be there to see who wins, but I’m just there to eat some barbecue. Or pet some dogs. I’ve kinda gotten lost in my own metaphor.

        Well said. I’m also a native Texan and have little pride in the state in general, but we have some undeniably good food.

        You can never go wrong with Texas BBQ, but that is also true of other states.

  Maybe in general, but Eastern-Carolina style is the superlative barbecue form.
