A recent poll of Roadfood.com readers resulted in pork ribs as the choice for a last barbecue meal (a prospect we’d hate to even consider).  Pork would seem to be the barbecue of choice in general as 71% chose pork in some form.  Pork does seem to translate pretty well across the country – you can find decent or better versions in lots of places.  Brisket is attempted in many places, too, but less successfully, in our opinion.  It’s really at its best in Texas.
