    General’s is my favorite. Mostly because he said that MY barbecue sauce was good.

      I have yet to go to Dixie’s and ‘meet the man’. What is with all these BBQ joints and their vaguely suggestive catchphrases!?

        Dixie’s is so-so. The Man is their only real selling point. My limit is 6 spoonfuls, but I only use it to cover up the kind of blah taste of everything else 🙁

        Definitely do go and hurt yourself a little there, so you can say you’ve done it.

          ate a large amount of The Man on an empty stomach and started convulsing.

          I heard 3 Sisters BBQ in Renton is supposed to be good, too. But this is coming from someone who is not very educated in the ways of good BBQ.

            My roommate is a BBQ fanatic (General has a photo of him on the wall. ugh) and he says 3 Sisters isn’t bad. There’s a place on Lake City Way that has the most AMAZING polenta muffins ever, and their BBQ isn’t too bad. The roommate just got a seriously out of hand smoker/BBQ, outfitted by the guy that does the General’s equipment. It runs on pellets and the guy even built a hopper onto it for continuous temps. When we break that thing out this spring, I am going to stuff your face full of BBQ.

            YESSSSSSSSS. When your roommate inevitably starts a BBQ restaurant,he should really consider calling it “I am going to stuff your face full of BBQ”. 😀

            Wart Hog BBQ in Fife/Tacoma is really quite delicious. The decor leaves a bit to be desired, unless you like a whole lot of taxidermied … things.

            Do they have a suggestive slogan? Perhaps something along the lines of “RIDE THE HOG”?

            Yeah, not so much. Although it appears the food critics who’ve eaten there (or their copy editors, whichever) like to get super-dorky-creative with headlines.

    The Southern contingent needs to know details of this cuisine before we can admit it to the realms of proper ‘cue.

    – What animal was involved?
    – What part of the animal (brisket, pulled shoulder, chopped shoulder, ribs?)
    – What manner of sauce?
