Every BBQ Style We Could Find In the United States

Weird History Food is cooking up some BBQ for you. Food historians and culinary experts often disagree on where barbecuing traditions started. BBQ joints and backyard parties across the nation play host to their distinctive seasonings and cooking methods, producing an American staple deeply rooted in both immigration and native history. This list features some of the most famous (and not so famous) barbecuing styles across the US.

I’m a native to Santa Maria, CA and this is the first time Santa Maria style BBQ has been included in a list of “all BBQ’s from the US”. I was so excited to see this!! Thank you!!

I think this downplayed just how serious the ketchup vs. vinegar rivalry is between eastern and western North Carolina.

I'm glad they included California's style, especially tri-tip but I think they forgot St. Louis style barbeque which is very famous

[cavalierliberty]

Did you just snub eastern NC?


We will never forget this

[metronicmagician]

I’m kind of surprised they didn’t mention Kansas City’s absolute love for burnt ends

Thanks so much for this channel's representation of so many states, including us from Hawaii! Along with the mixed plates mentioned there's a few other BBQ methods used in Hawaii including the traditional imu (an underground pit that uses lava rocks to slow-cook meats) and huli huli chicken (a flipping style of teriyaki chicken cooked by "turn, turn" method)

Oh boy.. you showed the whole hog East North Carolina style (Skylight Inn) but didn't mention their style. In case anyone wonders, East NC style is whole hog with vinegar based sauce, while the west/Lexington is just the shoulder

I love a lot of BBQ sauces but the mustardy ones are always gonna be my favorites. Works so well with pulled pork

[erinmalone]

I’m glad Santa Maria style from California’s central coast got a shoutout. It’s so good!

[funnylittlecactus]

Weird history food never fails to make me hungry!

[BuildinWings]

I'd love to see you cover international BBQ! Korean, Aussie, even Mongol, etc - Plenty to work with.

It's just after 7am and I already want barbecue.

As a native Tennessean, I can say I'm quite proud Memphis is so often in the conversation when it comes to top notch barbecue.

[kyleshiflet]

I'm from East Texas and I can verify how much we love our style of BBQ but I also enjoy Memphis and North Carolina BBQ

[DavDaJa]

Happy that I'm from Texas when it comes to BBQ! The only con is that it's so good that we don't really get any other types of BBQ here. Would love to try BBQ from other states

P.S. I've heard that Buc-ee's (a gas station) BBQ can hold its own against many other styles. Anyone outside of Texas try it before?

[thebestcentaur]

Thanks for reminding me I now need to try ACTUAL Hawaiian BBQ, instead of just relying on Sweet Baby Ray's sauce for imagination

[derekmason]

I'm from Alabama and BBQ ribs are my favorite food. Never had the white sauce before though. I always liked vinegar based Carolina sauce

[aleccritser]

great video but as an NC native, you totally left out the tomato vs vinegar debate between the western and eastern parts of the state

[beboppapadopoulos]

I said it on the last video, but I’ll say it again. This series is awesome and I will watch every video y’all put out in it. Definitely gonna have to do one on sandwiches!

I've lived in VA my whole life and never thought we had a standing in BBQ culture.
