BBQ comes from North Carolina and Brisket comes from Texas

Wagyu is richer and denser in flavor, you generally eat less of it per serving due to it over say prime…. I’ve cooked a lot of waygu, and by in large, almost everyone I’ve served it to, has eaten smaller portions.

I can attest to this. Got a Wagyu tomahawk from KC Cattle company (awesome veteran owned company) a year ago. Incredible Flavor and texture. But could barely eat a fraction as it was so rich. Probably got four meals off that one ribeye. Every one amazing!

I you know you know. Skylightinnbbq is the best ever.

Used to be a place in, I think, Apex NC called OT’s BBQ. Damn that was the best ever! And hush puppies!

It was a dump. Oh but it was good. I think they had been operating since the 1930’s.

Maybe it was Fuquay Varina. I never knew where it was. Just how go get there.

You all know places like that!

I have been to one place in NC. The "Lexington BBQ" in Lexington, NC. It was featured on a Discovery Channel DVD.

At the time it was (and probably still is) family owned and operated. And the family actually still works it.

The meat itself was pretty good. They do feature "red slaw" (made with Ketchup instead of Mayo - I'm not a slaw eater anyway...) and the BBQ sauce is thin (almost water/broth like). But the people were all very nice.

I am from Davidson county and Lexington BBQ #1 has always gotten all the hype but there are several very good pit cooked Q places around Lexington. I like Back Country BBQ. I also like Eastern Q like B's, Skyline, etc.. B's looks like a total shithole but the lines start a around 10/1030 and all the Q is gone mid afternnon.

Those areas are about 30 minutes from me, I’ll have to dig around and see if I can find them. Hell, I was in Fuquay this morning.

There is a place by Mcgees Crossroads call The Redneck BBQ Lab that is supposed to be good.
 
Agreed... Brisket is totally awesome. But Brisket is Brisket and BBQ is BBQ.

Just 'sayin.

Of course, I originally hail from a place that boils ribeyes. But I lived in both NC and Texas... And about a dozen other places. So... there ya go!

PS. Lived in OH and they think that Chili on Spaghetti is food. Good lord!
If by boiled you mean sous vide then that’s the best way to cook a ribeye without question. I’ll die on that hill.

If you actually meant boiled then please let us know the area you're referencing so we can make sure never to visit. Only Godless savages would do something like that. I’d rather eat It cold and raw right out of the fridge.

I think they are gone. When I lived near there (in Morrisville, NC for a year) those places were still so rural I could quail hunt all of them... And deer hunt. I still have mason jars from still sites I found.

Now, every inch of it is sprawl housing. OT's would have been prime real-estate.

But running over there for Pulled Pork, hush puppies and (I know I am a heathen... unsweet tea) was awesome. Sweet tea was basically just karo syrup with a teabag in it. A bit too sweet!

Oh but man I loved going there.

Slow cooked in a vacuum sealed bag submerged in water. The whole steak Is cooked to the exact internal temp of the water bath from edge to edge.

Take it out of the bag, sear and serve as normal. It’s Impossible to mess up and comes out absolutely perfect every time.
