I'm a bbq guy, and I don't find the BBQ Revue to be great bbq at all.

Never thought of that before. Given Cincinnati’s legendary pig and brewery history, it’s ironic that there is no corresponding BBQ history. Never thought of that before.

The pulled pork is my favorite in town. The owner always asks if the sauce should be on the side, and the bun is more like a roll - substantial. The greens are terrific, as is the mac and cheese. The only bad thing I ever had was the brownie, which tasted too much like BBQ -- not good for a brownie. Best kept secret in Cincinnati: KT BBQ in Reading, across from Skyline.

Pit-to-Plate serves their pulled pork plain and has like six sauces to choose from, including the very runny, vinegar-y stuff that is the standard in NC. <br/><br/>Meanwhile, City Barbeque has a sauce they describe as NC-style, but it doesn't taste much like vinegar at all, from what I remember. That's probably why my boyfriend can't stand that place. Julie – good point.

But, as you say, the spices (between the dry rub <b>and</b> and the sauce) were just too much. <br/><br/>TJ--You're absolutely right. Barbecue means vastly different things to people all around the country. And that's what makes it the quintessential American food. I <b>love</b> that Carolina barbecue is different from Tennessee barbecue...which is different from Kansas City barbecue. (Of course everyone knows that the <b>best</b> barbecue comes from Alabama.) And if crock pot barbecue is what people like and want, then so be it. I'm glad, however, that what you and I consider to be "real" barbecue is making headway into the area.<br/><br/>Kelly--I'm pretty sure that Julie and I had Pit to Plate barbecue at Taste of Cincinnati. It was really good. We're planning to get to the actual restaurant to get a plate full, rather than the nibbler portion from T of C. <br/><br/>jknepfle--Please believe that nothing I said was intended to be a knock or slam. I was just making the point that so many people said that our problem with BBQ Revue was that we ordered the wrong thing. On Tuesday, I ordered what most people said was the "right" thing...and didn't care for it. I just amused that as soon as I posted the review, I found out that, again, I ordered the wrong thing. I think I'll try the place again and try the brisket and chicken. That way, I will have covered all my bases. <br/><br/>Vudutu--I'm all <b>about</b> a barbecue road trip.

Seems to me we need to do some coordinated road trips, put this thing to rest, pile in a couple of pickups, (a limo just does not sound right here) and pick the best. I have always said "if you want to know what the fair is like go to the fair, you can talk about it , walk around it but in the end you have to go to the fair" six or so of us in the room at one time should be able to extract the truth here! I suggested to 5chw4r7z recently when he was expressing a need to explore burgers we do the triad of burger trips, hit Terry's, Zips and Quatmans in one pass and end this controversy. Lets decide on the top three or four and hit em all. <br/><br/>BBQ Revue, City BBQ, Pit to Plate, J&W, Jim Dandy, Boston Butz, City BBQ, Scott's, Geno's, Smokey Bones.<br/><br/>Pick em.
