There’s tangy, sweet, tomato-y, and everything in between.

With so many options, what’s a BBQ sauce lover to do?

You like your ribs pork with a dry rub instead of a sauce. Then you’re probably a Memphis-style BBQ enthusiast.

Or maybe you like any and all kinds of meat cooked slow and low over hickory wood. If burnt ends are your favorite, then Kansas City-style barbecue is for you.

Isn’t it great that even in the category of barbecue we’ve got sub-categories depending on your taste? I love America!

I know that there’s NO WAY I could choose just one style to be loyal to, I’m afraid. I like ’em all. How about you?

Enjoy!
