Just opened my place……….ya all come on out and give it a try will ya? Not as expanded of menu as the Buffalo veterans, but I DID learn my way around a smoker in Kansas, Texas and the Carolinas, so if you’re into the Kansas style sauce and the Texas version of a Brisket, give it a try. Sorry, no Carolina slaw on top here yet, but we’re getting there. Keepin it simple so far, with more to come.

I’m friends with most of the restauranteurs you mentioned and everyone has something great to offer just like down south and in the midwest….Not necessarily “better” just different. In my opinion when it comes to que, it’s all good. I’m thinking of having a “guest pitmaster night” so some of our other barbecue buddies can showcase their sauces, rubs, and techniques. Whaddya’ll think of that idea? Is it time for a “barbecue of the month” club?

You have no idea how critical this information is to a BBQ fan in Canada.

Sadly, the Ithaca place is gone. Ralph’s ribs was a Carolina style place that I visited and blogged about a few times: http://www.genx40.com/archives/2005/august/ralphsribs

I like Dinosaur but Sticky Lips — on Culver St. in Rochester — is better.

For some reason certain members of my family have some fascination with Fat Bob’s, so every time we have an informal family dinner they invariably want to go there …. I’m with you LC – UGH !

The best BBQ I’ve ever had is some guy who sets up on the side of rte 13 outside of Ithaca.

think if you’ve ever tried Arthur Bryant’s, you’ll be singing a different tune.

Dan, I am more than aware of Arthur Bryant’s. And I’ll say
different, not better. His sauce is to kill for.

We were in Dallas a few of years ago, and found our way to Sonny Bryant’s. Julia Child had been in the week before, and I’m here to testify that Julia was onto something.

re: Bill Altreuter
I agree that Dino is the de facto bbq joint in downtown Rocha, but Sticky Lips is in the city, literally 2 miles or less from Dino. Tasty, tasty stuff. Give it a try next time.

As for bbq in other places, I’ll give the pork to the Carolinas, and KC may do ribs the best, but for brisket, you have to go to Texas. There are a bunch of places within an hour or so of Austin that are so good I simply can’t describe them. Rudy’s, Salt Lick, Stubb’s, Louie Mueller’s… plus many more, I’m sure. I’ve had brisket in several places up north, but the brisket in every place down there puts them all to shame. It’s like a different meal altogether. No sauce needed (and in some places, none available).

Porky,

I have heard the same. I think some people in Rochester forget that it’s actually a Syracuse place. I’ve heard Syracuse is superior to Rochester’s Dinosaur. After dining there a few times, I tend to believe that claim.
