Just found a picture of a potentially perfect meal:
I haven't tried every joint in the greater metro BBQ area, and I've got no connection with Big Al, but so far I think his place serves the best BBQ in town. (If you say otherwise, I will get Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, Clint Eastwood and an orangutan and fight you over it.)
I'm going to KC this weekend for the first time to eat some serious BBQ and compare. Dang Dale Watson will be in KC then, too, so I'm glad. I thought I was going to miss him at the Stagecoach Ballroom Saturday night. My advice to you is that if you want to have one hell of a Saturday you eat dinner at Big Al's and then go see Dale Watson.
As I alluded to earlier, you can get into some serious BBQ fights with people. I have seen them happen in person. In fact, I happened to tape a horrific one after a dude spit on another dude's brisket in a recent contest. I shudder when I think back to it. Watch the one guy lick his knife to start.

You know, Blair, just about any Texas BBQ will be better than that chicken crap they call BBQ on the East Coast!

You haven't been to Parker's in Wilson, NC, brother!

Kevin, I don't know what you're talking about. The only East Coast BBQ I know is pork.

There's Cow and Not Cow. Chicken, pork, possum -- it's all Not Cow.

That's a perfect meal, except for the beer. A more accurate name for Ziegen Bock would be "Anheuser-Busch Fake Shiner". But I can almost smell that brisket.

Ah. See, I've never had that beer, Jesse, which is one reason I said "potentially." Nice observation. I also said it because the banana pudding better be good. You just can't tell. If you screw with banana pudding, you screw with my lifeblood. That also results in fights like the one filmed above.

Sorry, not even close. Here's a photo of quite possibly the best BBQ meal you can have in DFW. http://bluesdfw.com/02142.jpg
Those are S&T ribs from North Main BBQ in Euless. They are two times World Rib Champions. The best part? All you can eat for $12. The bad part? Only open Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday, plus you usually have to ASK for S&T's to get them.
Oh, and that's a real beer, Murphy's Irish Stout.
