Burger King has ribs? whaaaaa?

[Mr1der]

wtf...I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I haven't been to a BK in about 3 years...I might have to check this out and see how it stacks up to real ribs from a good BBQ joint down here...

anyone have these yet?

We need a report on this!

[93coupe]

You're seriously considering trying these to see if they compare to a good BBQ place? Does BK have a burger that compares to a good burger joint?

Those ribblets are not going to taste like good BBQ. They're going to taste like the freeze dried, processed, mass manufactured, down syndrome riddled little brother of a good BBQ rib.

[Mr1der]

oh I know there won't be any real comparison.

I wanna know if they're palatable.

I'm pretty sure I'd much rather spend closer to 20 bucks and get a full slab with two sides from a good place than waste money on them if I want ribs.

they'll probably catch on in CA though...poor bastards.

god I need some good ribs...

might have to do that next weekend...

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Let me know if you want to hit up Memphis man!

[Mr1der]

oh I need to...

I still gotta got to Rendezvous and Interstate.

If I had the extra money, I'd go to Omaha for the purpose of stopping off in KC and trying their goods.

I need to go back to Murfreesboro to Papa's Hot Sauce store and get some of the delicious original recipe sauce they sell there...and something that'll make me s*** fire.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

I wasn't a huge fan of Rendezvous... It was pretty good, but it was pricey and the service kinda sucked. Corkys has them beat in every way IMO. I tried to go to Interstate once or twice (by your suggestion) but the line was way too effin long.

I was in Memphis 3 weeks ago and was told to hit up rendezvous. I'm from so-cal and know good BBQ. I slow smoke my ribs in my homemade rub after 24hrs of brining and they are BOMB. Rendezvous was terrible. Their ribs were dry, overcooked and way over priced. I think all around our food experience was sub par in Memphis, I'm sure it's mostly bad luck though.

Alright, fu*k you then.

That wouldn't be pleasurable for either of us. Wait it wouldn't be pleasurable for me, sounds like you might be into that kind of thing though.

Kansas City style barbecue is probably the worst of the regional barbecuing styles, with their thick, oversweet,tomato sauce served on the side sauce. Though northern Alabama's mayo-based sauce is f*** weird. Unfortunately (or fortunately because it leaves the rest unmolested), KC barbecue is what people think of when they think "BBQ." No thanks.

Texas is pretty good, being beef country and all. Brisket, done dry or moist depending on what "school" of Texas barbecue you're dealing with, has a special place in my stomach. The big surprise is the sausage. Here in German-influenced Texas, they do sausage right (nod to the Green Mesquite in Austin here). The famous Salt Lick though, was terrible, it's popularity due to good marketing rather than good food.

But, real BBQ is the domain of the deep south. Pork, served smothered in a vinegar, often mustard (if you're in South Carolina) based sauce. Texans, for all their beef prowess, just can't do pork, to my chagrin.

Wow. Those are fighting words.

Yep. It's amazing douchebags of his caliber can find a mate, let alone one that will stand him enough to go on a vacation with him.

Proof positive that the human race is headed for disaster.

I've always heard Rendezvous sucks and is for the tourists...still gotta get a first hand opinion on it.

I like getting bbq from giant smokers on a trailer in parking lots time to time too

You insult me, I fire back, and I'm the douche bag? Okay buddy! If you can't take it, don't dish it. FYI douche bags is 2 words. If anything good has come out of this it's that you've inspired me. I just got back from the store with 4 slabs of ribs in hand and I'm going to throw a BBQ next weekend in the name of your scrap metal. Consider it an homage to the law against inbreeding.

I was out there for work and the locals at the job site all told me "If you're in Memphis you've got to go to Rendezvous." I'm heading back out to Memphis in 2 months and will not be hitting that joint again.

[seang]

I will not be hitting that joint again.

Quitter.

It depends. If real research was done you could end up with an awesome product.

Just look at Betty Crocker cake boxes. Just add liquid, egg, and bake and you've got a damn good cake!

Once I see the regulars are in here I only read the OP and then respond. It's getting a little out of hand...

That's why I usually stick with the Pathy/QX4 forum.

Edited. When a mod says drop it... drop it.

Friend said we don't have the ribs here in MD yet.

[Jesda]

Empty V is always mad at internets.

[LayNLow240]

You guys who are looking for some good BBQ in memphis check out Central BBQ. I have not had their ribs, but the bbq sandwiches are awesome and you get a big sandwich for the price.

[Jesda]

I was within a few miles of Central BBQ last year. My a-hole friend was driving while I napped. Told him to stop for BBQ, but when I woke up we ended up at an On The Border. I got pissed and walked myself to a Panera next door.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

There is a hole in the wall joint next to my house down here that has absolutely SLAMMIN BBQ sammiches. Cheap too. You are looking at $5 for a BBQ sandwich, awesome fries, and a sweet tea. Place is owned (or was owned) by Jerry "the king" Loller's brother.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I had some of these, they were nasty.

My dad picked some BK for us on the way home and decided to give these a shot since he'd never seen them before. They're terrible. They taste almost like beef jerky. They don't taste like BBQ at all and are as bad as the McRib from McDonalds.

Maybe I'm just biased towards BBQ. I'm from Kansas City and know how to eat it. And whoever said KC BBQ sucks, stfu.

But really, they're not good no matter what kind of BBQ you like. They're unbelievably dry and full of artificial "smokey" flavor.
