Real Tennessee BBQ is served with the sauce on the side. It is hickory smoked pork shoulder. The sauce is thin and usually vinegary. The hot sauce is usually similar to Tabasco in heat and consistency. The mild sauce is often sweet and vinegary. There is a fairly popular (with non-natives) chain of BBQ restaurants whose name escapes me at the moment that serves chopped beef and chopped pork swimming in a sauce that resembles KC Masterpiece. But they are no more representative of Tennessee BBQ than Tres Amigos is representative of TexMex. >The 'hamburgers' are the size of a quarter and I don't think that was really >even beef on them. Yes this is state law. All hamburgers in Tennesssee are the size of a quarter and do not contain beef. McDonald's and Wendy's had to alter their recipes to comply. Even if you cook a hamburger at home you can't use beef and it must be the exact size of a quarter. >Nasty! I think Silly! is more like it. You discount the food of an entire state based on your experience in chain restaurants in one city recommended by one person. Suzanne
