The wife and I went in to a new BBQ joint yesterday because, well I love BBQ and this was on the way to the house, and was dumbfounded that they didn’t have hash and rice…am I wrong to think that a southern BBQ eatery should have this? The waitresses didn’t even know what hash was!
Am I crazy? Am I just getting cranky in my old age?
And yes, we left without eating there.
May all your favorite bands stay together…

I call it glam-q, not real bbq. I’m sure I know where you are talking about in west ashley. It was ok at best. Everything I had was overcooked. I gave it a second try, same results and it was a $19 meal

I know the place you speak of in West Ashley…real dry, real expensive.
I know the place. Tried the burnt ends once. They aren’t real burnt ends.
If they don’t know what hash and rice is, or worse yet, make a watered down, greasy, sorry attempt at it, then it’s not a real bbq joint.
Oh, forgot to add that if you get too far out of the lowcountry they have never heard of hash.

You don’t see many of them in GA serving hash anymore either. Most of them make a facsimile called Brunswick Stew. It’s sort of like hash but not served with rice.
My neighbor makes the best hash I’ve ever had. He starts with a hog head and I don’t know what all goes into it from there, scared to ask, but it’s some good stuff! And it’s served with rice:smiley:

Tigerfin hit the nail on the head, I had never even heard of hash and rice till I moved to the East coast… Many of Charleston’s “Great” BBQ restaurants are mediocre at best. A true BBQ joint does not need to cover their meat with sauce, it should be optional not a 2:1 sauce to meat ratio.
Just my two cents…
X2. BoBo Lee (Po Pigs) makes some killer hash down here, and he starts with a hog head. I know parts and pieces go in from that point but also am afraid to ask.

That’s perhaps one of the best southern phrases I’ve ever heard.

Since hash is generally only served in SC and parts of GA, I wouldn’t say Southern barbecue revolves around it. I would be more inclined to view it as a part of a sub-region of good Southern barbecue…sort of like mustard sauces.
Brunswick Stew is just that…a stew. It in no way resembles, or in any way tries to imitate hash.
Besides…there is no great barbecue around here anyway. As much as my wife and I love it, we quit wasting our money and stopped eating at BBQ places around here years ago. We wonder if these places are manned by people with no talent or no taste. It has to be one of the two.
Duke’s ,in Ridgeville, is my favorite hash. Not a fan of the BBQ , though. Best BBQ , with no sauce , is Kelly’s on hwy 78. Will try Scott’s in Hemingway, one day.

Mine said everything from the “rooter to the tooter”. 
Love good hash, we use Boston butts when we make it, but usually just buy a gallon of it from Dukes here in Walterboro when we do a pig.

That’s the way I’ve made it and it is good. My cousin, he’s in his 70’s, makes the best hash but has no recipe. It’s the add a hnadfull of that and a pinch of this…I’m heling him make it memorial day and I will be taking notes!
When I was little I looked in a pot hash was being made and the head floated up to the top. It left quite an impression on a 6 year old.

I can’t make it to Hemmingway very often so I enjoy the handful of BBQ places James Island and West Ashley…

McCabe’s in Manning is pretty good as is Big-T here in Columbia.

I’ve found that any bbq place that hasn’t been open about twenty years sucks. Most of the good ones are second or third generation that started as a hobby or side business. The Johnny-come-latelies aren’t doing it for the love of cooking hog anymore.
No BBQ like Lexington BBQ !!!
