The Twin Tiers’ Best Bar-B-Que By County According To Yelp! [GALLERY]
Barbeque. Just that one word makes me hungry for a rack of ribs of chicken and all the fixings that go with it. And everyone has their favorite place to go for barbeque, or favorite way to make it themselves.
Well, I am certainly not one to make my own barbeque, so I rely on area restaurants and food trucks to take care of my craving with their outstanding type of barbeque styles. I love pulled pork, chicken, brisket and ribs. But, I prefer my ribs to be baby back ribs. If the meat can easily fall off the bone, that is the slab of ribs for me. I prefer not to have to fight with my food to get it off the bone.
Of course, those ribs need to have the right taste for me. I have tried ribs with a rub that just didn't do it for me. It's hard to describe what I like, and most places do a great job for tasty baby back ribs.
A couple of years ago, I visited Memphis, Tennessee which is one of the country's best places for barbecue foods, and I have to honest, even though everything I tried was very good, restaurants in the Southern Tier of New York and Northeast Pennsylvania that serve up barbeque is just as good, if not better. That's my opinion anyway.
And for the sides, I've got to have salt potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw and cornbread. That completes my favorite type of barbeque.
