B-B-Q

I love a good bbq and really love a good bbq sauce. i have never found a sauce that made me say wow. so for the past few years i have made my own. (not to toot my own horn but i have gotten good at it) So any way today i'm doing some ribs on the grill, i'm out of brown sugar so off to the store i go. while there the owner and i start talking (i bring up that i'm grilling to get out of there) and he tells me i have to try this new sauce. Texas Redneck well i thought with a name like that it would be some flavorless tomato paste. i saw orig. and hot so i grabbed the hot. thanked him and headed home. wife sees the Redneck sauce and ask if i'm getting lazy. Tell her the story as she opens it, she gives it a wiff, sticks i finger in and gives it a little taste. well after seeing the look on her face i knew something was up, she handed me the bottle and after a taste of my own i have to admit that this is the best store bought bbq sauce i have ever tried. Long story short after cooking the ribs (with a rub and a light bast of sauce for the last 10 min) these ribs came out great. Just thought i'd let ya'll know. If you can't find it in a store they do sell it on their web sitehttp://www.txredneck.com and for those of u who don't like or can't handle hot or spicy food don't get the hot. . . it did have a nice kick to it.

Whens dinner????

I've tried allot of bbq sauces and your right, there are very few that pass the "mustard". The good homemade recipes, are usually guarded like a mans tractor.

A few years back while living in Colorado for a while, the wife and I where craving good ole Texas bbq, we went to a small place, appropriately named, "Texas BBQ" (yeah, in Colorado) We figured it was also a Texas transplant so it should be decent. Couldn't get out of there fast enough, so dry it almost was good "ripper" teeth.

We were in Los Angles and went to a restaurant, i ordered the $40 Cajun Steak. . . i don't think it even had pepper on it, most bland steak i ever had. now when we travel we never go into any restaurant that says CAJUN on their sign, and don't order any thing CAJUN on the menu. it seems like all they do is cook it in a lot of butter.

Now I love real Cajun cookin', but I've found very little of it outside Louisiana. I know Dallas has had several "Cajun" restaurants open in years past, sometimes to great fanfare and big crowds, but they usually didn't last long.

The worst barbecue I ever had was in a very popular restaurant in Williamsburg, VA. And for second worst, I'd have to vote for a place we ate in Mobile, AL.

Now i don't want to knock a whole state, but i haven't found good bbq in NC. Last trip up there tried 3 different places and didn't like any of them.

in Austin TX i went to Iron Works BBQ. . . That was some good Q. there was also one night while driving to el paso that i stopped at some dive off the interstate, don't know where it was other than the middle of nowhere. but it had some real good bbq. i'v driven that way 3 more times and still can't find it again

Also in MS i think ocean springs there is this HOLE IN THE WALL "the shed" They had some pretty good q as well i really liked the pull pork.

My current favorite BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's , it's available everywhere around here...but I will look for that Redneck sauce for sure!

Yeah, that's pretty popular here, too. It's good on chicken.

I've used Alton Brown's rib recipe and haven't even been tempted to change anything yet. (Except I do glaze on the weber.)

Thick sauce, I'll second Sweet Baby Ray's and add Sticky Fingers. As for BBQ dip (thin sauce) I have one of the local restaurant's recipes for Lexington-style dip.

I had to consult the wife to make sure I wasn't steering you wrong...
We buy that stuff for the teens and their group/friends to dip chicken tenders into. That's all.

The good sauce we've been using on chicken is still my wife's (and her mother's) hillbilly adjustments to Open Pit. (they add ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and onion and cook it down a bit.)

Go to the website I linked above...there is a dealer locator. If you can't get it in your area I will send you a bottle to try...

You guys have named a few sauces I never even heard of. I used to make my own; tried a number of different recipes, but for several years now we just buy the Original KC Masterpiece sauce and I prefer thinning it a bit with water.

Mention was made of keeping your recipe secret and I think most restaurants do, but over 40 years ago, Sonny Bryan's was a very popular BBQ restaurant in Dallas and he even gave his recipe to a reporter to publish in the newspaper. It obviously didn't hurt his business. Of course, he's gone now, but there are a number of "Sonny Bryan" restaurants in the DFW area.
