i can get disagreements if your preference is like mac and cheese or collards but the number of people replying to me saying the best side is coleslaw is absurd. you are not serious people

good coleslaw is one of the best sides but most places don’t make good slaw. one of the few things the best amateur renditions beat out a lot of professional takes
With Eastern NC style? Mac and cheese or collards lack the acidic hit to contrast with the fatty bbq. Marinated red slaw, eastern NC style mustard slaw, vinegar slaw are all superior options. The greens would need vinegar or Texas Pete to be workable. The slaw doesn't need those extra condiments.
Hey I love Mac and cheese but it is very easy to fuck up. The majority just can’t do it right and serve a congealed, gritty, mess with a split sauce. It can be great but it almost never is.
Thank you. Coleslaw’s floor and ceiling are insanely low. At worst it taste a new kind of slop Baptists made up to take the pleasure out of eating. At best it’s just ceviche for people who are scared of cities
Asparagus, potato (any form except salad), greens of the collard variety, fried okra, sauted/friend giant green onions, and then biscuits and biscuits and sweet peas and corn are all on the same level. And then buried waaaay beneath the dirt, below even maggots, there is potato salad and slaw
I dont like coleslaw but everyone I know does, so I wonder if it's a region thing or perhaps a polack thing, cause coleslaw & sauerkraut were aleays the prominent sides in my family gatherings with ribs growing up
i think depends on the sweetness & level of vinegar in the bbq i am enjoying... sweeter bbq means a more "bitter" side, like a cole slaw, is better. bbq side pairing should be a thing, as bbq sauces are kinda regional.
I disagreed with you about the green beans but this I agree with. coleslaw people are deranged and something has to be done about this crisis of mental health

While I’d never say something silly like cole slaw is the best bbq side, I do have dreams about the cole slaw from Lexington Barbecue.
-Beans
-Potato Salad
-Mac & Cheese
-Coleslaw
-Greens
You can rearrange 1-3 in any order you like.
Or chicken. Or maybe a skewer of grilled shrimp.
Now I’m hungry.
given an infinite appetite, id load up on almost everything else before it, but id still include it for that reason
(Coleslaw is garbage and should be chucked into the nearest body of water)
