Why would you ruin BBQ like that? If you really want to eat that stuff put it on a boiled potato or something but don't waste good BBQ.

Actually wish they were less popular here. Sucks that there's too much demand and some places just cube generic brisket. That, and I can't ever be assed to wait in line on one of the magic "OKLAHOMA JOES WILL HAVE BURNT ENDS TODAY" days.
...someday.

Yeah, "Joe's Kansas City" but you know it's going to be called OK Joes forever.
I've eaten at the one by AMC 30 a couple times. I mean, it's not bad, but I don't think it's as good. I mostly humor my friends who think it's as good as the original location.
At least it's better in comparison to the gas station location, than the Aurthur Bryants at Legends is compared to the one on Brooklyn. Tried that place twice and didn't like it, but to be fair how can you compete when they try to kill you with extra meat at that one?

The original Joe's BBQ in the gas station is still the best. The others are still good, better than most places, but not as good as the original.
I feel like whenever BBQ restaurants open additional locations, it takes several years for their smoker to be broken in and work up that layer of grime/seasoning that makes it taste really good.
Jack Stack here in KC has opened several new locations over the years and I've never liked any of them right after they open, I avoid them the first few years they are open.
There's some BBQ places that have been around for 30+ years and their smoker has such a huge layer of crap built up in it, they don't have to season/dry rub their meat at all, the smoker adds all the flavor you would ever need.

I've never had a lobster roll and I've always wanted to try one. Jealous we don't have a place like that here.Can't get that delicious Jack Stacks/Joes bbq but I can get good seafood!
Nice spot near my parents home called Two Little Fish in Westerly, R.I.
I got some Lobster Rolls and Onion Rings that were were amazing.
Also, where the fuck are my hot pot chips?
You can generally find a decent lobster roll almost anywhere but the big difference is they're like $6 on the east coast and $15 everywhere else

I've never seen burnt ends around here before, however we go to a seriously nice bbq pit type place in Milford, MA:
Carnivores All American BBQ
Also the Ghost Pepper didn't ruin the BBQ. It just made it hot as fuck.

There was this place called Bubbas in Olathe back in the 90s/2000s that used a Brown sugar rub that was amazing but they changed the recipe.
P.s. Heko i got them here pm address.
You are correct on the smoker and Jack Stacks off of Wyandotte gives Plaza a run for its money now. Plaza location's were probably the best ribs I've had. Central BBQ in Memphis being a close 2nd wow good ribs there too.

This man is preachin' the gospel.
Here in the eastern half of NC, there are any number of family run, hole in the wall BBQ joints that look like they have been around forever. The uninformed would probably take one look at them and think to themselves only the destitute would ever eat at a place like that. If only they knew ...

Problem with NC is whole hog is a dying art. That is a problem for any BBQ connoisseur. Fantastic joints down there but it's fading to gas and electric.

I suspect it's part of the larger trend of family businesses petering out because the next generation doesn't want to carry it on and if they do, they want to make it more efficient and profitable. There's nothing efficient about good BBQ though.

I've become a big fan of the burnt ends burger at Q39. That sucker is tasty.
I also agree that the OKJoes at the gas station is the better one.

I haven't been to Q39 yet, it always looked just a tad bit hipster-ish for my liking. And BBQ and hipsters should never go together... At least it's not as bad as "Char Bar Smoked Meats and Amusements" That's just hipster douchebaggery at it's finest.
I want a 400lb, 60 year old black man making my BBQ, not some hipster in skinny jeans and a handlebar mustache

What if the hipster makes the best BBQ you've ever had? We need to have a blind taste test.
