German food? How do you fuck up pork and potatoes?
Quote: I do of course hold to the fact that Memphis BBQ is better than anywhere else and the rest of the country has no idea how to correctly make cornbread and our Cajun and Soul food are the best.
1) Real BBQ is Beef, not that southeast trash that was only developed because pigs were cheap and had to be drowned in vinegar and tomato sauce because the meat was traditionally crap. Specifically central Texas BBQ is real BBQ. If you must have pork you can throw ribs and sausage with the brisket, but the sauce shouldn't be something it hast to be drown in. It should look something like this:

Thats not an opinion, thats fact goddamnit
2) "Our" Cajun food shouldn't be considered the Southeast, its south Louisiana which culturally should its own zone.
Whether 'bad' or 'good', I generally did find during living in the south that things have a lot less variety. Most probably because Americans don't travel too often and southerners in general tend to be provincial even by American standards..... an adventurous night out eating with some of my georgia relatives would include going somewhere other than Krystal....
