We all know that the USA is king when it comes to BBQ. (Australia & South Korea can't compare. And grilling =/= BBQ!)
Tell me where do I need to go in your city to get some good BBQ chicken, a side of ribs, a chunk of smoked brisket and some pulled pork? What kind of sides am I going to I expect? Is it at your house? Or is it in your 'secret' part of town?
Is it too controversial to include Arizona in this poll? There seems to be a lot of passion coming from that direction.
Enough questions. I want to get fat!!!
Edit: My apologies to South Carolina. I forgot to include it in the poll when I put down North Carolina. If I could edit the poll, I would either place that option above North Carolina or fuse the two into Carolina barbecue (while acknowledging the two are still different).
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

I don't care much for the Carolina vinegar based BBQ Pork. I like the beef and the briskets so I'm going to go with Texas here, though I haven't to Memphis yet so one visit there might change my mind. I had no idea Arizona was grilling up BBQ with passion. I'd sure would like to know where in Arizona.

I voted for Texas. The BBQ spots around Austin are the best IMO. Lockhart, Bastrop, luling, marble falls, Elgin, etcetera.
I think smittys in Lockhart gets most of attention. Followed by muellers, city market in luling, blacks, salt lick, and some more.

If I could edit the poll, I would rename North Carolina to just Carolina. Thank you for point that out.
