You New Yorkers seem really happy to have so many new BBQ places, but they just really don't compare. Take it from a Texan, they are kid's stuff imported to the big city. This past weekend, I was up in Oklahoma and we stopped at Jiggs Smoke House, a small place in Clinton OK off the Interstate and old Route 66 (not marked on the highway signs, of course). Well, you walk into this wood shack and the place is full of cowboys having their lunch. Huge plates of lunch. Not the sort of types you'd find in those Manhattan BBQ places eating small plates of stuff. An enormous lunch of pork ribs--that was the day's special--came with potato salad, beans and two slices of bread. No fancy furniture or decorations, just great barbecue, the way life ought to be.

What BBQ here in the city are you comparing it to? Where have you eaten here? Just curious, since Clinton OK is far from the Lower East Side.

Texans brag so much about their meat - please give credit to the Mexicans, though, who have had such a big influence on the cuisine of Texas. And note that in Spain, grilled and smoked meats are a specialty of La Mancha, and had a big influence on Mexican cooking. I get tired of hearing all the time that only Texans know how to cook beef. Have you ever been to Argentina?

Marfa,
Any tips on a great BBQ joint in Houston. I'm taking the family down end of June to visit family. Also, any favorited Mexican or Cajun recommendations.
