The BBQ Report

I found this great quick reference guide to the different regional barbecue styles you’ll find in the United States. It’s a one page cheat sheet that lists the type of meat, sauce, and preparation associated with each style of barbecue, including:

• North Carolina
• Texas
• Kansas City
• Memphis
• South Carolina
• Alabama
• Kentucky

An example is in order. Carolinians on the whole point to pork as their meat of choice, but South Carolinians prefer a mustard based sauce, while in North Carolina (at least in the Western areas) they use a ketchup and vinegar based sauce.
