Anyone know if this place is worth a try? I've seen it driving but I've been too scared to go within 10 feet of the Fresh Shitty it's located next to.

Red, Hot and Blue is a weak BBQ chain. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you think Red, Hot and Blue is "the bomb," you haven't had real BBQ.

Stay home and make your own. Its cheaper and tastes just as good
as any restaurant barbeque. Also, you dont have to worry about the
kitchen staff's cleanliness or legal status.

1 London Broil (Angus or other American grown variety)
1 Bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce (American made)

Pour some sauce in the bottom of the crock pot.
Place meat in crock pot
Pour rest of barbeque sauce on top, covering the meat.

Cook 4-6 hours..

Very tender and pulls apart for great sandwiches etc..

Serve on toasted Kaiser roll. Yum!

I agree. It's hard to find good BBQ around here. If your into NC bbq, Burger Delight is the only place I know around here.

Peppers and Dixie Pig used to be really good, but they're long gone.
Famous Daves can be hit or miss.

It is hard for me to drive through Woodbridge without stopping at Dixie Bones.
Their sweet tea is the best around as well.

Hmmm, well I have had it in Texas at Blue Cactus Café in San Antonio, Corky's in Memphis, Smokey John's in Dallas and lots of other places. You really are not bursting my bubble as much as making me think you are sort of a jerk about this topic.

Perhaps at birth you were swaddled in short-ribs, pulled pork and a side of slaw (no cornbread). Maybe you were born a culinary genius with a rarefied palate and we are all fortunate to have you tell us what we have and have not eaten. Thanks for that.

There's this little country store on Rt. 50 in Aldie (on the way to Middleburg) that does pig roasts every Sat a.m. The guy has everything prepped and cooked in a smoker out front and cuts it up for the store to sell throughout the week. It's easily the best I've had around NoVA. I think the place is called Aldie Country Store. It's worth the drive out west.

red hot and blue fired me.

Yes, but it is what you get at Red, Hot and Blue.

I don't know why, but I got a chuckle out of that.

Precisely! and for the last batch I used a bottle of Famous Dave's sauce
from Wegmans. No difference. Now if I could just find Hooters wing
sauce again. (havent seen it for a while)

Here's the anwer to Red,Hot and Blue:

Get a beef brisket, put some salt and Liquid Smoke on it. Wrap it tightly in foil and bake at 225 degress for about 9 hours.

Remove, flake it and add your favorite BBQ sauce.

None better. Try it...you'll see!

I aim to please.

If you head out Rt. 29, west of Gainesville in New Baltimore is Smokey Joe's BBQ. It's some of the best. They're closed for the winter, but should be opening in March I think.

Boss Hoggs in Mclean is good.

BTW, real BBQ is pork, not beef.

Red Hot and Blue may not be the best BBQ around, but their dry ribs are excellent! Anybody know of any other places that serve them in that style?

If you're on your way to the Fauquier wineries or I-81, Apple House in Linden (Linden exit off of I-66) smokes their own pork and puts together a pretty good pulled pork sandwich (a little more smoke and a little less spice would make it perfect).

I've always believed that without smoke, there is no BBQ. That being said, I'm no snob - the crock pot or the oven can be well-utilized for tough pieces of pork or beef. I'm not going to call it "barbecue," but that doesn't mean it can't taste good.

"BBQ" on a gas grill - take an aluminum foil bread loaf pan and poke about 5 holes in the bottom. Fill the pan with wood chips and place it on one side of the grill on the lowest flame possible. Once it begins to smoke, add your prepped meat to the opposite side of the grill and cook until tender. Every hour our so check the chips and replace when needed (a second pan filled with chips is best for this). It's not "true Q" since there is some direct heat involved, but as long as you keep the grill in the neighboorhood of 225-250, you should still end up with a nice, smoky dinner.

They are amazing. go there.

Only if you're from North Carolina, Tennessee or Georgia. Northern Alabama is known for a white sauce on Chicken and Beef. Maryland is known for pit-beef. Believe it or not, in parts of Kentucky the meet of choice is sheep.

Anyone who tries to tell you that "Barbecue" or "BBQ" is ONLY this or that, with ONLY this type of sauce or that type of sauce is not a very intelligent person capable of complex thought. They experienced only one type of barbecue growing up, and therefore, that is the only true barbecue. They are limited thinkers with poor reasoning skills. BBQ can be vinegar based, ketchup based, mustard based, dry rub, smoked, direct heat, etc etc. The white sauce in Alabama is Mayonnaise and vinegar based, and that's still BBQ.

Most people would recognize it as barbecue sauce if you made up a mixture of ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper and whatever seasonings you can think of adding, and if you really hate good barbecue, you can throw in some vinegar, but only if you know the meat you're using is of poor quality anyway. If you use a good cut of meat, adding vinegar isn't necessary since you aren't trying to hide the flavor of rotting low quality meat, and actually want to taste the quality meat. Better to use beer or whiskey instead of vinegar. I've even used vodka in BBQ sauce, but never vinegar. That shits just too nasty to put on food. To me, vinegar is a cleaning product, not a food product. I pour it on the carpet to kill odors if my dog has an accident.

The only REAL pizza is New York pizza... btw, does anyone know where I can get the best, most authentic New York pizza in this area? I need something to eat while my windows are being tinted.

After sampling the majority of FFX Co's BBQ establishments my vote goes to Willard's by the Expo Ctr. Good size portions, nice selection of sauces, a little pricey but delicious. Red Hot and Blue is too commercial just like Famous Dave's. Smokey Bones (Woodbridge) is also too commercial but fairly good.

I second the vote for Willard's. I thought Smokey Joe's was more expensive, and only okay in flavor. Famous Dave's is OK not great.

Sbarros is the bomb dude beer and a slice yum...

Red, Hot and Blue is overrated. It's OK, but nothing special.

For EXCELLENT BBQ sauce, go to www.headcountry.com. That sauce (and seasoning) ROCKS! I've been ordering my sauce *giggle* from there for years.

Virginia BBQ in manassas off of Liberia avenue. kicks ass

Believe it or not, some of the best BBQ in the area can be found at the Herndon golf course. JJ Deli in the clubhouse has excellent BBQ pork and beef brisket.

http://www.jjdeli.com/index.htm

for the best bbq in the area you will have to head into dc....capitol q bbq on h st near verizon center and rocklands in upper northwest near cleveland park

Concur with Capitol Q. Rocklands on Fairax in Arlington is pretty good, too.

My personal opinion is that RH and B is a great restaurant. It may not the best BBQ but it is definitely better than most. The quality of the meat and sides is comparatively very high and cost is relatively inexpensive. I love eating there and do so several time a month.

watch out for the tea

Carolina BBQ is the best.

Vinegar and spices beats ketchup and fake smoke sauce anyday.

Puke. If I want sour, I will eat a lemon.

And as the saying goes, "if no lemon, then a cock will do just fine."

Right IFAIL?

Wow, okay this should be the end of this thread
