smash Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Evening everyone, I hope you’re all well during this current pandemic. I have been watching and dribbling over bbq and smoking videos a lot lately and just saw a video by Bon Appetit where they claim Franklin’s BBQ in Texas is the best in the world. Where is the best you’ve ever had? Why and what made it great? My favourite was Central BBQ in Memphis but I’ve had a lot of others that I felt are quite close.

Smokin Monkey Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Personally, not had BBQ outside of the UK, but those I have eaten in the UK, to be honest have been pretty dire. Not blowing smoke up anyones a**e but the BBQ cooked at the BBQ/Tailgate weekends is pretty much up there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Some of the best bbq food I've ever had are at the events last year, as a judge I got to tatse food cooked by some great teams. I was really looking forward to this years events as I was down to judge at 3 shows. Having said that I cooked up a cracking good rack of ribs & a chillie chicken yesterday. Ice.

Leggy Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Me and the Mrs will try to have 'Bbq' food at most places we go to eat. A couple of years ago we went to Plymouth, there's a bar called the ' Blues Bar & Grill' on the harbour and they served the single best chicken and ribs I've ever had...ever. I'm looking forward to the world getting back to normal and getting to one of the tailgates, they look amazing! Adam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotv Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I am a big fan of seafood, and their is a place on Teignmouth beach in Devon called the Crab Shack and the majority of the food (sourced and caught locally) is done on a grill outdoors, overlooking the beach and bought to your table. Simple things like Grilled Crab Claws in garlic butter served in a bucket are something else. They do full seafood paellas, fish and meats on the grill as well. But as the name suggests Crab is their speciality Edited May 17, 2020 by sotv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I always volunteer to come with the missus shopping at Westfields White City so I can sneak in to Prairie Fire, which does Kansas style BBQ. Well worth the visit if you're ever in that neck of the woods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Sounds like there are some great places here to try out and I’ll be sure to make a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul6057 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I think the most memorably unexpectedly brilliant barbecue I had was in a little place called Bobby Q's Pit Stop which is this tiny little shack in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. I was staying at a hotel there for a work trip and went walking to find something for dinner, and just stumbled across this unassuming, no-frills place. The burnt ends were incredible, and they also do these amazing fried pickles. It's the only good thing about business travel to Connecticut.

JulesRules Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I dint think I've eaten BBQ "out" much. It's guess its not much of a thing in the UK and I always think of BBQ being for the back garden. Having said that I have great memories of a family holiday to the Algarve a good few years back and having amazing sardines straight out of the sea and onto the chargrill. Amazing 😁. Unfortunately I struggled to find any on my last visit to the area 😔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yes bvq fresh sardines is a winner. Pacific Rim pulled pork with alphonso mango and birds eye chilli salsa was a winner. Also a ticket chicken drumsticks using the vortex on kettle. Brisket when it vomes out perfect. Tandoori lamb chops. Tandoori chicken kebabs. Pork Chop. The list is endless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
