Where I live it's hard to find good cornbread. Everyone here seems to think it's meant to be sandy, dry, and crumbly. It's like they go out of their way to enhance that, for authenticity or something, focussing more on the crispy edges than the soft interior. I bet they don't even soak their corn meal.

One of my Grannies made sweet cornbread, which is really good and cakey. My other Grandma made it not sweet, more savory corn flavors, baked in the perfect old iron skillet. That's the best way, imo, good ol' East Tennessee mountains style cornbread. All you need is that and greens to have a good meal. Dang, I'm hungry.

I am going to say as a Texan there is different places in the USA where you can find unique barbeque. My father and I worked for decades to make excellent Texas Barbeque. I use an offset smoker and lots of time to make brisket like the brisket shown in this video. We may take it for granted but we do pass recipes down from generation to generation. For example, tomorrow my Grandson and I will make some Dr Pepper Jalapeño flavored beef jerky.

Lifelong Texan here, we do take our food for granted. I have so many friends that have moved to other states for jobs, etc. And the first thing they do when they come home for a visit is eat. There's a great video about a 70 yr old woman named Tootsie that has been BBQing her whole life and is still going strong. You'd like that too.

I mean to be fair, every state or region has their own "specific" foods people love. Texas and many southern states it's usually BBQ or cajun food etc. East coast like NY or NJ it'll usually be pizza and Chinese food etc. West coast, depends really. Many places do incredible seafood and I've had some of the BEST chili I've ever had in Portland of all places. Mind you, I'm from New Mexico originally and you can't beat a good green chili um, chili. But the chili I had in Portland was next level. Sadly, the place closed down about 7 years ago due to the owner passing away (the couple who ran it were in their 90s!) because one of my cousins lives near Portland and loved going there. Anyways, rant over lol

I’m from the U.S. and I’ve been all over the World and I believe we have the best cuisine….period. What we’re good at is taking existing cuisines and changing them to the point of perfection.

I'm from Texas and have tried lots of BBQ, and it is a very serious thing here. From having a good and proper seasoned grill, to the type of wood used, to even the meat (weight and marbling).... all of it is an art. Some of the best BBQ a person can find are from little "hole in the wall" type establishments that never make any big headlines. However, having said that, let me say that Terry Black's, Goldie's, Franklin's, Salt Lick, Evie Mae's, etc.. Most are located in different cities around the state and it is not uncommon to see a "shake up" from one year to the next as far as the "best BBQ in the state" and that is a testament of the various pit masters essentially competing with each other year after year to produce better products. BBQ is abundant here, and it is harder to find "bad" BBQ than good BBQ, but when you truly find great BBQ then you'll know it immediately. My pro tip would be find a person/subscriber that does serious BBQ at home for cookouts or family get togethers for sport events and attend one of those because they can be as good or better than some restaurants.

People REALLY care about the quality of what they produce. And. . . every year, it's a whole new world! No telling who'll have the best X this year!!!

Here's the thing-Texas is NOT the only place for BBQ. You have North Carolina BBQ, South Carolina BBQ, Alabama BBQ, Kansas BBQ, Memphis BBQ...they are ALL different and great. You have to try it everywhere to understand because it's cooked differently, has different meat cuts, sauces, etc. The best thing to do is try it from different places everywhere.

As a Austin Texas resident you have to go with the beef rib and the brisket in the top spots. The pork ribs and sausage next and then the turkey..in my opinion. However there are so many other things to eat at a BBQ place here in Texas. I have traveled the world and the food here in the US is far superior to any other country. However there are so many different types of food here in the US it's difficult to rate them all. Texas BBQ is different to Kansas City BBQ which is different to Carolina BBQ. Regional food here is so different in some instances you would be surprised. Lots of different things to try here if you make it across the pond.

I have watched other Brit channels that have gone to BBQ places in the UK. There are Brit chefs that have trained in the US on BBQ and are now opening places in the UK. One is called Spitfire Grill and another is Prairie Fire in London. The one in London is an American from Kansas doing Kansas style BBQ. BBQ is nationwide. Every region has their own way of doing BBQ. One of the best BBQ chefs in the world is from California. So all regions are great in their own way.

If your Christmas Turkey is dry, it was over cooked

America has various types of BBQ: low and slow (low temp for long periods of time, almost no sauce needed), Kansas City (I think has a mustard based BBQ sauce), and South Carolina (tomato based BBQ sauces). All are amazing in their own right.

True. Texas doesn't use sauce, and that's why I prefer it (also lived there for years). It's all low and slow (or else it's grilling), but the sauces are so different. Also, the sides are different. Texas staples are pinto beans, potato salad, coleslaw, and maybe mac & cheese. Nobody put coleslaw on a Q sandwich in Texas (they might now; I moved back here 20+ years ago). I ordered from Terry Black's to get it shipped, because NONE of the BBQ (as they've proclaimed without proof of product) here is worth the paper container it's in. Dickey's, "Famous Dave's", Rudy's, Bill Miller.... all of the chains do the bare minimum, and I have no clue how Dave got famous. It is fun to try various types, but I'll never order anything but Black's.

hey from texas!! i've been to Terry Black's several times and YES it is that good. different parts of the south cook bbq differently. texas bbq is just the best. the DINO RIB is so amazing. Hope you come and have some. 🥰

I am from Texas. I make it, so I know what goes into it, no I don't take it for granted... but most around here do. The biggest problem when it comes to trying to emulate Texas BBQ abroad, is that in the US we corn finish our beef... in europe, they are just grass fed for the general market. What this means, is, you either import briskets from the US (which has got to really increase cost) or if you use grass fed beef, it won't have the correct fat content, will cook faster, won't be as juicy... just won't be what you are expecting. Not to mention, the smoke is a huge part of the flavor profile and last I checked there isn't a lot of pecan, or post oak to get the right smoke. Sure, you can import all that in, and now a sandwich is more expensive than most 4 course meals. Shrug. Brisket is the hardest to make, just because it takes the longest. That giant beef rib... believe it or not, *easiest* thing to cook imo. Same basic principal as a brisket cook but about half the time. The thing about them though, is, they are full of so much fat, you'd be sick if you ate a whole one. Definitely something to be shared between 2-3 people with other BBQ like brisket/pork shoulder. It does impress the hell out of everyone at the table when you pull those out of the hot box after 2-3 hours resting.

This is actually very interesting information. I’m American and it never occurred to me about the corn finishing. Thank you for sharing. Btw- a good Texas bbq (or brisket) will literally bring tears to your eyes. You can get bbq just about anywhere in the USA these days, but in most northern states, it’s nowhere close to Texas’s bbq.

Totally agree with the fact that Turkey white meat can be pretty dry. But when it's smoked, it maintains some of the moisture and it has that nice smokey flavor to it.

Yes...us Texans know how good real bbq can be. We take a lot of pride in our culinary achievements lol here in Texas.....cooking is an art form!

The best place I ever had barbecue was a hole in the wall joint in rural Texas. Simple center block building that had wooden picnic tables, covered with red/white polyester table cloths. Had amazing food. Sometimes the unknown places are the best.

It’s probably a family combo 4-8 people

The trick to turkey is that generally it is over cooked and not rested before cutting it.

That serving is for probably a whole huge table of guys. Def not for a few people. They just gave them a whole serving of probably almost everything they have on the menu for the video.

I’m in TX and definitely take it for granted. I live within 45 minutes of 3 of the highest rated BBQ places in the state and go To each about 1x a year.

[Edited] Every time I watch one of these Southern comfort videos, I'm always baffled when it comes to the cobbler and pies. My family has deep Southern roots, though we're many generations in California. And I've Never had cobbler or pie without it being served hot a la mode, with *1-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream being placed atop and left to cool the piping hot cobbler/pie by melting into a cream all over it. Same with the baked rice pudding. * 1 large scoop, 2 medium scoops, or 3 small scoops Southern restaurants look like they need to step up their dessert game from what I've been seeing on these bbq videos. haha

Texan here. We really do take it for granted. Most of us produce this quality BBQ at home

"the best bbq" is basically asking to start a fight. Texas is generally a spice only cook. St. Louis is a web bbq and eastern bbq is pulled pork with a vinegar based sauce with or without tomato depending on the area.

It’s so crazy that they are reacting that way! I guess we do take it for granted! And btw, different states have different seasonings for their bbq. Being from Texas, of course I think TX bbq is the best!

Yup, TEXAS. I am TEXAN 57 years. It’s beautiful.

Texan here. Good BBQ is no joke. A lot of us have our own smokers and we cook like this for our families on holidays. Obviously nothing on this scale but….it’s just part of who we are. =)

I deep fry turkey every years for thanksgiving here in Louisiana. I inject it with cajun butter and its never dry...

When you go out for barbecue you eat until you’re sick 😂 it’s ordered by the pound unless they have specific combos. As a Texan Brisket is my favorite.

You can get Texas Style BBQ in the UK now.. There are three Texas Style BBQ restaurants that I know if that give the best attempt at real Texas Style BBA... One is in Manchester, one is in London, and probably in my opinion the most Authentic with Texas Style Portion Sizes as well is the one in Bristol. The one in Bristol smokes their brisket for 16 hours. The owner of the Bristol one lived in Texas and brought what he learned to Bristol.

Check out a video from Mr. H and Friends. They are from the UK and they found a BBQ restaurant there where the cooks actually come to the US every year to learn the tips and tricks on how to make authentic Texas BBQ. What I also love about them is that they are on a mission to try as many US recipes/foods/snacks/drinks as possible. They bought a smoker and made pulled pork which looked AMAZING. I think you'd enjoy their adventures in trying and embracing US culture.

The North West United States, also has great Barbecues. Absolutely great brisket, beef, and pork ribs. Something I've been noticing is, I haven't really seen the kind of Mac and cheese I love. On any of these barbecue reactions. Which is Mac and cheese baked in the oven, with buttered, baked bread crumbs on top. It's sooo good that way. The barbecue I especially liked, was in Spokane, Washington. Longhorn Barbecue.

Texas here! A platter of BBQ like that can be shared between 2 to 3 people, pending on appetite/who wants what. Those platters are meant to be shared if you're ordering big.

These guys were in Austin. But just southeast of Austin is a town called Lockhart, the epicenter of Texas bbq. It has I think the original Black’s joint, and an even better place called Kreuz Market. The most authentic experience is to eat with your hands off of butcher paper, no sauce. BBQ places vary and some are fancier, but a lot will give you a big tray like a milk crate, lay down some butcher paper, and dump your piles of meat into it.

I drive by Black's BBQ everyday on my way to and from work. My wife and I hit that place up at least once a month. And you're right we are spoiled to us is just an everyday thing but when you watch these videos you're like holy s*** we are really lucky.

the Jolly site goes to a bbq restaurant in London, American themed- and it's close, not as good, but close- watch that and get the info to go there. It's a video they take Armand and Max (of the Brit school boys they do a lot of videos with) to the restaurant.

The best part about American bbq is that it is easy to make. Just put the meat on a rack with a pan to catch the drippings. Smother with salt, pepper. Spray with water every 30 minutes. 4 hours minimum at 30 minutes per pound. Bonus points if you have some liquid smoke. You can then take the drippings to make a gravy, use to cook rice, add to mashed potato. You can even add the drippings to instant ramen.

BBQ = turning the toughest cuts of meat into the softest near liquid meat you can find

You and your family can fly here to Dallas, Texas and y’all can stay in our guest rooms and we’ll walk to some great BBQ places. There might be a bit of a line to get into the place but I think you’ll be very pleased! We can rent a van and do a Texas BBQ tour. The great thing is that every place will taste different because as they say, the rub is the secret. People work for years to get the right spice combination and then slow smoking the meat for 10 or 12 hours, let it rest and then let loose. The sides are often forgotten but a good BBQ will have the perfect sides to complement the meats. I promise, your life will change once you taste good, no, great BBQ.

My company sends me to Texas far too many times… Austin, Dallas, Houston, etc. First thing i do when exiting the airport….. Texas BBQ. It’s really like Christmas whenever I’m sent back to Texas.

Hehe, I am subbed to them also, I know this is going to be good.

There's another youtuber in Britain that was so impressed with American Barbecue that he actually imported an authentic American professional-grade smoker so he could make it at home. If you really want to try American Barbecue you should get in touch with "Mr. H." I've no idea what the shipping for a 300-kilo professional smoker costs, but he clearly has no regrets. Also if your Christmas Turkey is too dry you're cooking it wrong. :-) And, you're looking at two people seated in front of a meal that's sized for about six, I think. I'm sure they intend to take home leftovers.

From North Texas some of the best BBQ you will ever eat is sold buy guys pulling a smoker around and setting up in a parking lot setting with his wife and kids. There is one that sets up in the convenience store parking lot just up the street every Saturday. Has 2-pound brisket sandwiches with fries or chips (that would be chips or crisps to you) and a can drink for 8 bucks. I get home take half the meat out and have a second sandwich. His homemade sauce is amazing too. Good places I like are Terry Blacks, Hard 8 are two of my favs.

The thing that sets Texas BBQ apart from most of the rest of the Country is in Texas Beef is King! Most other states do Pork BBQ. Brisket is one of the toughest cuts of meat, but Slow Cooked for 12+ hours it becomes one of the Softest, and Delicious cuts of meat. Brisket, and Beef Ribs are by far the best Texas BBQ. Don't forget the Sides though. A really good BBQ place will have side dishes that can hold up to the flavor of the meat.

With American food, I'd say we get our vast variety of food choices from the vast variety of nationalities of people here. Everybody brings their own style and recipes from their homeland, and then they get Americanized a bit, with added herbs and spices. But of course our staple truly All American food style is Smoked BBQ. And we are able to do that because we have so many cows and pigs in the country. In certain areas, there's actually more cows than people. And regarding the term 'sausage' it seems like the UK throws out the term for any meat that's in tubular form. That's not really what sausage is. Sausage to us is spiced ground meat that could be in a thin skinned tube link, or a flat burger-like patty. We use sausage patties in our breakfast sandwiches. Which can be paired with egg and cheese.

20NOV23: American here. The "Rolls Royce" rib is Brisket smoked on the bone, which gives ie even more flavor. BBQ is based on 4 groups of peoples cooking coming together: Indigenous/Native, Spanish, Chech and German. BBQ is great but wait until you try native food... Fry bread, Fry bread Buffalo meat taco . Salmon candy: Smoked salmon with a brown sugar glaze.

Everything is great about Texas, but the heat keeps me away.

Meat portions are usually sold by the pound. A typical portion would be a half-pound (225g) of brisket or a half-slab of pork spare/babyback ribs, along with a side or two. If you ever want to get turned back onto turkey, find a way to try a cajun deep-fried turkey. Despite the deep-fried aspect, it is juicy when done right.

As a Texan I still think we've got the "recipe" for the best BBQ in the U.S. but I must admit that Corky's Dry Rub BBQ in Memphis, TN (and 12 hours later in Little Rock, Arkansas) made me realize you can find "the best" anywhere!

Every state has its own special cuisine, even BBQ is different; Texas, Kansas City, Tennesse... North East, Midwest, Tex-mex, Southwest, Northwest food is crazy good.

Another great video, Mert. I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in a number of different States over the years. Barbecue is a big thing throughout the South. The best I've had was in a humble little restaurant in a poor neighborhood in Mississippi that, besides delicious barbecue, served traditional African American foods such as collard greens and black-eyed peas. For desserts, peach cobbler was served as well as banana pudding - which was even better. I now live in Minnesota, close to the Canadian border. Barbecue restaurants are pretty uncommon up here, but the dishes, while still tasty, just can't compare.

I've gotten to travel the country for work and TX bbq is my favorite meal. All the other bbq regions of the country are fighting for a distant second place.

Texas definitely has some of the best barbecue, but they aren't the only place that does really good barbecue. Texas probably does the best beef barbecue, but North and South Carolina also have some excellent pork barbecue. In California they use the Mexican barbacoa method of barbecue. In Alaska we have some excellent salmon barbecue. So it really depends on what State you happen to be in at the time. The key to getting a nice moist turkey is to brine it first. Also, as they mentioned in the video, the meat stays moist and juicy because it is cooked at a low temperature for a very long period.

Texas has the best BBQ hands down but I wouldn’t say best food overall. That honor goes to Louisiana without a doubt.

Texas BBQ is freaking amazing!!!❤❤❤

They are at the right place for good BBQ. I’ve been there a couple of times myself.

Brisket rules in Texas. Always the most popular for a reason

Yes we take our food for granted and we’re spoiled.😀

The best BBQ I ever had was at a family friend's house. I was about 10 and these were friends of my grandparents. They were throwing a bit of a party. They own a ranch and raise meat cows. So I walk into this like open-air building and from the ceiling on a chain was a cow....or rather half a cow, cut lengthwise. the other half was in the smoker. To make a long story short, they sent us kids to go play in the desert scrub like the feral children we were. (Looking for snakes and scorpions because we're idiots LOL) And came back to the best plate of meat I have ever had. no cause or anything because the smoke flavor and salt did all the work. you almost didn't even have to chew it. it was so soft. Side note, these friends learned that I love jerky so they gave me a WHOLE paper grocery bag full of jerky they made the old-fashioned way. (Out in our desert sun) they looked like they just sliced up whole sides of the cow, like the steak and made jerky out of that. It's was real jerky, tough and hard, not soft meaty bites like you find today. Which was fine because I LOVE that kind of jerky. Every day I would come home from school, snap off a chunk a peace of jerky the size of my hand and watch cartoons while I did my homework. It would take an hour for me to chew this piece of jerky. it was like meat gum in the most delicious way. took 6ish months to go through that bag

The brisket is where you’re pectoral muscle is. It a tougher cut, but we’ve managed to make the most out of it with our cooking style.

Family recipes and tradition get passed down like it's a secret rum, whiskey, or moonshine recipe

I lived in Texas for 17 years (grew up and now live near Chicago), and Hill Country BBQ in Texas is incredible. The smoke does the flavoring- sauce is around for tourists. The only place I order BBQ to be shipped is from Terry Black's... the smoked chicken, sausages, beef ribs, pork ribs, and brisket are absolutely perfect imho. No other part of the country (including some areas in North Texas) does it like Central Texas/The Hill Country. If you go to the US, it's worth going to Austin for the BBQ and Tex-Mex (a lot of other goodies, too). I LOVE the brisket (fatty end) and pork ribs- but for 'daily' (more like weekly), the smoked chicken is hard to beat. BBQ is generally ordered by the pound or piece. It's totally up to the person, and some sides are almost needed to break up the weight of the meat. The beans in Central Texas are not sweet baked beans. They do pinto beans with either bacon or salt pork (or whatever people use for their beans), and black pepper. VERY good.

Its hard to describe smoked barbque. You dont want to say it taste like smoke...but it taste like the most airy, puffiest, lightest sweet smoke infused beef. Imagine beef or pork braised in smoke. With a hint of sugar, pepper and salt and garlic. When done right ,(most places really dont do it right since its so labor intensive), its amazing.

TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's BBQ weekend in my TX house, doing up some beef ribs today - all day. The great thing about a BBQ place is you can have multiple meats at once. I can (mostly) only do one at a time here. Thanksgiving is our turkey day, and I've been doing a smoked bird for years now, and it's the best.

It's mostly the southern states that do the best bbq but every state does something different than the others and sometimes it is down to sauce and seasoning or smoking process. Texas uses post oak or mesquite wood and here in Florida we use orange tree wood so some regional differences are due to avaliable resources.

I live in Kansas in the US and hands down proper done Texas Brisket is the best food in the world! I smoke my own Texas style on an offset, using Oak wood, salt and black pepper. Indescribable

I ate brisket for lunch in Austin. Just a normal day in Texas. $11 for half pound with free bread, pickles and onions

That and their Tex-Mex video. But premium examples, not cheap.

last week I was in Dallas and tried BBQ, it was the best I ever had....had briquet with BBQ sauce..

Those 2 trays of food are probably $350 US dollars. A normal person would order like a single beef rib and a side or like 2 slices of brisket, 2 pork ribs and a side. As a guy from Minnesota which is directly north of Texas, I have learned to smoke my own BBQ because we have nothing close to authentic Texas BBQ up here. If you live in Texas, you're blessed with great BBQ.

BBQ in the US is generally just taken seriously and a respectable honor to be the block champ

You have to put butter under the skin or baste the hell out of turkey to get it moist. I have seen on KZread people that came from or was trained in the US bbq places in the UK that look damn good. I think there’s 1 on this channel

"Born and raised a Texan" is one of the greatest honors I have.
