Not true. I know friends and coworkers from NY or Cali and they come to Dallas and they go to any bbq place and they swear it's "amazing". They just rave and rave, meanwhile I'm sitting there like, this meat is way too salty, sausage is hard etc.
Most ppl don't know good food bc this era lacks ppl who grew up with proper cooking. So if everybody else says it's good they do too
That's because they're not used to eating Texas BBQ. Of course a local who's more familiar will notice flaws
