Get your mouth ready for this limp, gray meat.

What the hell is that, you ask? Only the end of these United States, that's what.

A simple slab of meat began a war amongst states.

It’s clear Brooklyn has no business cooking “barbeque.” But what exactly does good BBQ look like? Texans soon did what they do best: jump into a conversation uninvited and brag about how great Texas is.

You hand somebody a BBQ plate like this in Texas and you liable to get clapped. And rightfully so https://t.co/qNBt97zGA1

The Brooklyn tray is emptier than a West Texas landscape.
I fully admit BBQ snobs are the worst, but Brooklyn gotta step up their game if they want to claim superiority. One is Texas BBQ, one is a hipster tray. Which is which? pic.twitter.com/vW5amxYBRW

The outrage was bipartisan. Even Sen. Ted Cruz’s social media staff took a break from liking porn tweets to comment.
