Oklahoma? Why Oklahoma? They don't have any specific claim to a BBQ style.
Kansas City has their sticky sweet sauces thickly slathered on all their meats.
The Carolinas have their claim to fame with pulled pork and tangy vinegar sauce.
Texas has the best brisket on the planet.
So what does Oklahoma have to offer?
Oklahoma bbq is usually found in little hole in the wall joints somewhere along a lonely highway.
Ya walk in the place and approach the counter where you place your order.
You can watch the folks preparing your plate and talk to them about what you're about to eat.
Then you can find a table to be seated.
Oklahoma bbq is usually lightly seasoned and smoked perfectly with oak wood fires.
It rarely has sauce that comes between you and your enjoyment of the meat.
Sauce is served on the side but it has to be ordered or you'll never see it.
And they fill you up with things like ribs, spicy sausage, spicy smoked beans, and fries.
But if you don't like sweet tea then you better just order water...
So that's why I stopped in Oklahoma. Because they get it right!
