    If your barbecue needs sauce, you're doing it wrong. It should be bursting with moisture and be able to be cut with a spoon. You will find sauce at a Texas BBQ restaurant, though it is placed on the table as an option should patrons desire. I would advise using a bit just to see what it's like, but you'll probably agree the barbecue is better without it.

    We were talking about restaurants, not finding a specialty sauce in the grocery store. There are Texas BBQ restaurants in China. How many Carolina BBQ restaurants are there outside of the Carolinas?

      "Bbq cooked well is better" Yeah no shit if you cook the meat well it tastes better.

      Carolina bbq cooked like shit is shit. Who would have thought.

      Idrc if texan bbq is popular in China. There is a reason people always compare Texas, Memphis, and Carolina BBQ. Those are the 3 regional types that are very famous and regarded as good.

      Also if you look at another comment of mine you'll see that I'm not from either Carolina or the south in general and "Carolina style" (vinegar/mustard based sauces) are the most popular types of BBQ here.

      Texas is one of the largest must famous US states. Of course BBQ places in China will say that shit lol.

      Texas is known for two things cowboy hats and hot air

      Edit: sorry if this seems meandering poor thought our garbage. I'm day drinking with my siblings lol

        That's not what I said; I said if it's properly done you won't need a sauce. You won't miss it at all.

        There is a reason people always compare Texas, Memphis, and Carolina BBQ.

        OK, I'll bite: where can you find a Carolina BBQ joint in China? Or any other country? How many exist outside of the Carolinas or the South for that matter?

        There was this amusing Youtube video a while back where they took some Korean people off the streets and gave them Texas BBQ for the first time. Koreans aren't exactly known for being culinarily adventurous. Usually they don't like anything that's not Korean. They were smacking their lips and saying, "10 out of 10! This shit is fucking great!"

          That's what you're saying: "If your barbecue needs sauce, you’re doing it wrong. It should be bursting with moisture and be able to be cut with a spoon"

          What this is implying is that Carolina BBQ, which necessitates sauce as otherwise it wouldn't be Carolina, is cooked poorly. What I'm saying is that good bbq is moist and cuttable with a spoon regardless of where it's from. That has no bearing on whether it "needs sauce". Sauce is meant to enhance the food. Who cares if it "needs it" to taste good? Do good fries need dipping sauce? No. Are good fries made better with some kind of dipping sauce? Unquestionably so.

          I'm not going to dox myself to give examples of where this style of sauce is popular. I guess you'll have to take my word for it that they exist and aren't near either Carolina.

          Texas is the second largest US state with insane amounts of cultural capital. It's going to be famous by nature of that regardless of whether it's better than what it's compared to.

          YouTube videos are edited nonsense. I don't think this strengthens your point.
