Several cities in the United States are renowned for their great barbecue. Each region has its own unique style and flavors.

Kansas City is famous for its sweet and tangy tomato-based barbecue sauce. Ribs, burnt ends, and brisket are popular choices.

Memphis is known for its dry-rubbed pork ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. The city's barbecue is often associated with a distinctively smoky flavor.

Central Texas, and Austin in particular, is famous for its emphasis on beef barbecue. Brisket is a star, and the use of simple salt and pepper rubs allows the quality of the meat to shine.

Often referred to as the "Barbecue Capital of Texas," Lockhart is home to legendary barbecue joints like Kreuz Market and Smitty's Market, known for their outstanding brisket and sausage.

In New Jersey, locals rave about Mutiny BBQ Company and their melt-in-your-mouth brisket, Texas Carolina potato salad, and specialty Bacon Bama Turkey.
