BY MICHELLE WELSCH
When browsing the menu at a barbecue restaurant, be sure to look at the local specialties. Since styles of BBQ vary by region, you'll likely find some unique offerings.
Tennessee is known for ribs, while Carolina has smoky pulled pork. Kansas City has sweeter tomato sauces to accompany dry-rubbed meat and St. Louis has flat pork spare ribs.
While regions have become known for specific recipes and platters, chefs have put unique spins on their dishes, making for even more variety. Don't forget to try a few side dishes.
