I travel all over the US for work. I am from Texas, so I prefer Texas/Oklahoma/KC style BBQ. I know there are slight differences between the 3, but generally, you can get decent pork, ribs, or brisket in this region.
Obviously, the more east you go, the less and less beef you see, which is fine. When pulled pork is good, it is really good. Most places I have been to seem to have a weird twang to it. It is hard to describe, but it doesn't taste like anything I have had in Texas, and nothing like at home, even re-heated. This is without sauce, mind you.
I have had pulled pork all over Alabama, Tennessee, and the Carolinas and hae only found a hand full of places where I didn't feel like I got ripped off. I usually use Yelp and Google Maps and go to the highly reviewed places.
Any other road warriors feel the same way?
