IMHO, Bama BBQ pales in comparison to Carolina style sammiches or Memphis style ribs.
Forgot about the most horrible BBQ sammich I ever tried to eat. About 15 years ago I was passing through Tuskegee during deer season and got a a sammich at some place I can't remember. Took two bites and threw it out the truck window. Frickin disgusting. Went down the street to taco hell for lunch.
