Reply to comment by Lil_Phantoms_Lawyer in Good restaurant that's near 76 to stop for dinner? by syzygy1990

I'll be honest, monroeville doesn't really have anywhere good to eat unless you want fast. dad's, carhops, thats really about it. otherwise it's pizza. nothing to really brag about here. rather cook myself.

You consider yourself a member of the local BBQ community but can't name a place you like?

im sorry my standards are above what the local restaurants can put out. also, more people are into bbq than just restaurant owners.

I don't know why you're so butthurt I hate big rigs, you sound just like the owner when someone gives him the 1* he deserves. the other mediocre bbq places around here are nothing to write home about either. Nothing has tickled my fancy better than what I can make at home, especially when it can be made properly. with a proper smoke ring and mouth feel.

I urge you to taste actual good bbq. travel, do a bbq tour in texas, go to nc and do a whole hog tour. watch some videos online and see why having a brisket that is the consistency of roast beef is not quality brisket. why the first few hours are so important to smoking your meat correctly and why pellet smoking is for the birds.

Im not surprised the folks around here who consider a bbq, hot dogs on propane to take offense to my take that the bbq around here sucks, but it does. sucks to suck.

I'm not offended you don't like Big Rig's.... to each their own. If you don't like any BBQ around here that's fine, I'm just surprised you consider yourself in the know of the local BBQ community when you stick your nose up to them so much though.

If I was to go anywhere in the world for BBQ where would I go that's good? A specific place not a region.

what kind of bbq are we talking? let me ask you a question. what do you actually know about bbq? cause these questions are getting stupid. you can't compare whole hog to texas style to kansas city.

Okay so you're a terribly difficult person to try and have a conversation with lol.

thats probably because it wasn't a conversation. you questioned my opinions, and i answered. i think you're just mad i don't think big rigs is good bbq cause you seemed to take it rather personal. you also won't tell me your experience with bbq. once i again whats you're favorite bbq in the whole world is so vague how can i begin to answer that? if you want recommendations for good bbq, the answer becomes dependent on other relevant factors.

are you only able to eat at one bbq place in austin? im gonna have to say franklins because its the go to classic. but if you want some really awesome bbq go to la barabaque, micklethwait, and leroy and lewis. drive up to fort worth for goldees.

want whole hog in nc, you have to have skylight inn and sam jones then pick a couple others,but nothing will top skylight. get some chicharrons for snacking later.

want to try and bbq at home, first off don't try to do it in a pellet smoker, they suck. make sure you know how to properly trim a brisket, something big rigs does not. choose your wood wisely, texas is known for post oak. watch some how to videos online. learn the important temps and times. meat will be absorbing the most smoke the first two hours of smoking. this is when your ring is formed and is why its important to not f it up.

I really do not care that you don't like Big Rig's, I'm sorry for asking you questions. Really, I am.

are you? cause questions like this, "You consider yourself a member of the local BBQ community but can't name a place you like?" is really snotty and you seemed to really question what kind of knowledge i have. so clearly something butthurt you in my responses.

Honestly you just sound like an asshole lol. But not because you don't like Big Rig's.

probably because you wanted to instigate something since someone had a different opinion to you.
