Huge +1 and very well said Bailey

and gfx as for debate sauce vs. no sauce I have to say no sauce I want to taste the BBQ not the sauce. As alton brown said in one of his good eats episodes BBQ sauce is only what you put on bad BBQ or something like that!! LOL!!

Ok before some of ya'll get the pitchforks out I only believe that halfheartedly while I do like some BBQ sauces I for one don't like BBQ sauce that is sweet which is probably why I don't like Rudy's BBQ so my theory is whether I get sauce or not it will always be on the side!!

I like dry rub and sauce on the side... Best of both worlds!!!

Rudys doesn't cook their meat in store...look for their "wood pile"
