Local 'Que Name Checks!
I just read an article in Paste magazine called "Running the Barbecue Belt: A Multi-State Search for the Perfect Pig." Unfortunately, this article, written by Stephen Beaumont, is not posted online, but you might want to check out Paste on the newsstand anyway, because it's pretty cool. Anyway, the article mentions Bullock's (and here) and Lexington BBQ (and here), listing the latter as one of "The Country's Best 'Cue Joints." It also talks about how "at...northern establishments, you can only get an approximation of the regional styles, and as far as the experience goes, it's not the same." I quite agree. Finally, Beaumont discusses "what may be the fiercest rivalry in barbecue": Eastern-NC style vs. Western-NC style.
On an unrelated note, I came across this page from the Barbecue University TV show Web site. It's related to Jennifer's recent post about grilling vs. barbecuing. I have never seen that TV show, but it looks rather ersatz to me. The site claims: "At BBQ U, you'll learn to push the envelope, grilling everything, literally from soup (grilled gazpacho) to desserts." Um, no thanks.

I looked at the bio of the "professor" at BBQ U and can see why he doesn't understand that barbeque is noun, not a verb, and that he is GRILLING. The man went to Reed College. I don't think he's even from the South. Okay, not that we are but....we have definately been here long enough to know the difference between grilling and barbeque.
Ah well, there is only so much two women can do to advance the 'cause of the 'que.
