We tried Virginia BBQ (a chain founded originally in Richmond, VA I believe) recently. I'd never tried 'Virginia' q before - I usually stick with Kansas-style. We tried the ribs and pulled pork. Both had a definite vinegar flavor. The tables came with two kinds of sauce to add- North Carolina vinegar & spices or Virginia vinegar, tomato sauce, & spices. We stuck with the Virginia sauce as part of our Virginia experience.
I prefer smokey or sweet flavor in my BBQ so I wasn't overly impressed with the flavor offered with this Virginia BBQ. I had slaw on my pulled pork sandwich which helped lesson the impact on my pallet. For sides I chose the barbecued beans and fries. Fries are fries, nothing special. The beans had a vinegary taste to them.
If you like vinegar flavor to your BBQ, then I suggest you make the journey to a Virginia BBQ near you. Vinegar isn't really my thing though so I probably won't go back except to take friends by for a taste - it wasn't bad, just not my preferred flavoring.
