In answer to Five Theses posted on the door of The Atomic Nerds, Anarchangel Chris Byrne lays down some dietary law on chili, hot dogs, corn bread, biscuits, barbecue, and burgers. Oh, and pizza.
I’m a free thinker here, so I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I do like Chris’ essential point, which is that there’s a lot of good food out there being called by the wrong name.
I will make exactly one personal observation: The best ribs I have ever tasted were from Lyndon’s in Houston. They’re done with a mildly spicy dry rub, and although a thin vinegary sauce is supplied, they are the only ribs I’ve eaten that didn’t need any sauce at all, so juicy and flavorful are they.
And anybody who thinks I was bribed to say that? Get thee to Lyndon’s Pit Barbecue out on Hollister off of 290 and eat.
And if you don’t agree you’re a filthy degraded heathen, and I don’t want to hea.r about it.
And if your religion prevents you from eating pork ribs, then your god is mocking you and you should kick into his eyes the sand which covers that which comes from thee, or nail him to a tree, or whatever it takes to get him to piss off and let you eat your ribs in peace.
[update]
One minor adjustment Lyndon’s sauce is thin in the sense of “not viscous or thixotropic”; it’s flavor is excellent.

Glad to hear you enjoyed those ribs, Dave. Must be tasty.
