Reply to "Great BBQ IN OKC OK.?"

Well, BBQ is certainly one of those things that is very subject to individual's tastes. I've eaten at a lot of BBQ joints, where I've had some food I just did't care for. In my area, Northeast U.S., all of the larger 'chain' places I've eaten at, I just didn't like the food. At all of the big chains, Ribs usually taste like they've been held too long, I rarely like their sauces, as I'm not a fan of liquid smoke in a sauce if being put on smoked meat - thats a pet peeve of mine, but I suppose some folks like that from-a-jar taste. I rarely eat pulled pork if eating out, because I prefer my own - maybe because when I do it for myself, it's always fresh. I've twice eaten at a couple of well named places in the Houston, Texas area, and both times didn't finish meal. I tasted way too much creosote on the food, leading me to believe stuff was cooked a bit quick over their mesquite fired stick burners. I guess they prefer it that way in Texas. Even the smaller local joints in my area, it's a roll of the dice. I don't think I'm that particular either, but I do prefer my smoke/flavor profile. However, it's all a matter of 'taste' - heh. I'm not knocking any restaurant, or chain BBQ place, I'm more just mentioning their food wasn't to my taste - they didn't get to be successful without people liking their food, that's for sure. My restaurant is scheduled to open end of April, so I'll find out pretty quick if folks like the BBQ, and if I find that my tastebuds, smoke profiles and flavors don't line up with what the public want, I'll change them real quick !
