From North Carolina to New Orleans, BBQ can mean anything from sweet, sticky ribs and cracklin\u2019 to burnt ends, crispy chicken and Korean-style pork belly. Here, we take a look at five of the best places to try authentic American BBQ across the United States, and what makes their meats, sauces, local flavors and melt-in-the-mouth cooking styles stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/luxurygoldblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Texas-Style-Barbecue-Pit-iStock-SamyStClair-www.istockphoto.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[3427]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3432 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/luxurygoldblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Texas-Style-Barbecue-Pit-iStock-SamyStClair-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"American BBQ\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Texas-Style-Barbecue-Pit-iStock-SamyStClair-www.istockphoto.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Texas-Style-Barbecue-Pit-iStock-SamyStClair-www.istockphoto-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Texas-Style-Barbecue-Pit-iStock-SamyStClair-www.istockphoto-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Texas-Style-Barbecue-Pit-iStock-SamyStClair-www.istockphoto-1024x857.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Barbecue Pit \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/texas-style-barbecue-pit-gm521997555-50529976\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SamyStClair\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>North Carolina<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/uk\/tours\/products\/premium-tour\/america-the-beautiful\/summer-2016\/america-the-beautiful-summer-2016?utm_campaign=hg2&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=5-states-to-try-authentic-american-bbq&amp;c3ch=blog&amp;c3nid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>America the Beautiful<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pork is king in North Carolina, and has been since the Spanish transported pigs here in the early 16<sup>th<\/sup> century. But so is variation, from Eastern North Carolina, with its whole hogs drenched in vinegar sauces, to South Carolina and its mustard based dishes, with the Piedmont style (where the meat is served dry) and the Mountain style (where the sauce is a sweet-hot ketchup) in between. In the North, two principle styles reign, however: the Eastern style, which has the cracklin\u2019 served alongside the meat, providing texture and crunch to the tender, salty flesh, and Lexington, which only uses the pork shoulder or ribs. One thing all Carolinians agree on though is that American BBQ pork must be cooked over hardwood coals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/luxurygoldblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Beef-Ribs-iStock-Juanmonino-www.istockphoto.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[3427]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3429 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/luxurygoldblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Beef-Ribs-iStock-Juanmonino-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"American BBQ\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Beef-Ribs-iStock-Juanmonino-www.istockphoto.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Beef-Ribs-iStock-Juanmonino-www.istockphoto-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Beef-Ribs-iStock-Juanmonino-www.istockphoto-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Beef-Ribs-iStock-Juanmonino-www.istockphoto-1024x857.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Beef Ribs \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/beef-ribs-gm482816914-70505921?st=cd2bc1f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juanmonino\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Illinois<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/uk\/the-sumptuous-soul-of-america-summer-2016?utm_campaign=hg2&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=5-states-to-try-authentic-american-bbq&amp;c3ch=blog&amp;c3nid=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Sumptuous Soul of America<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Illinois, and its largest city Chicago, are known chiefly for their hot links and rib tips.
