California Cookouts Are Nice & Texas Has Good Smoked Beef But Real BBQ Comes From Alabama

I have eaten what they call BBQ in almost every state and six foreign countries, and I have learned a few undeniable truths:If they don’t know what sweet tea is, they don’t know what BBQ is.Texas has great smoked beef (though I’d put my Black Market Beef against their feedlot brisket every day), but they also don’t know what BBQ is. That’s kind of funny because you can get sweet tea in half of Texas, which means they’re halfway to understanding BBQ.But the only real BBQ in the world comes from the South, and it’s pork smoked over hickory.The best real BBQ in the world comes from Alabama.And the best of the best comes from pasture-raised heritage hogs like we sell right here at Wild River Farms.
