Just saw this AP article today in the local fish wrapper.
Four college students from Birmingham-Southern College are working their way through the “best” barbecue restaurants in the South as part of an english course. They’ll chronicle the adventure, tasting bbq from place to place, and blogging, writing, and shooting photos and video of the experience!
What have they learned so far?
…3,100 miles is a long, long way to drive for dinner in a 1998 Ford Expedition with a plastic pig’s nose attached to the front.
I want one of those plastic pig noses for Petunia!
Despite a brief bout of food poisoning, the foursome has been steadily at the project, and their professor/advisor apparently thinks they’re doing a great job. Barring something unforeseen, the four will probably get an A for the project… not to mention a few extra pounds to carry them through the rest of their college careers.
Personally, I’m jealous.
So what does this have to do with hog hunting? Very little, actually, although as anyone worth their salt knows, BBQ IS PORK. It is NOT a verb, and it is NEVER made of beef, chicken, or fish. Check out this video… these boys get the point! The sauce is only meant to complement the meat, it is not the meal!
You can see more on their YouTube Channel at, http://www.youtube.com/user/BSCbbqboys
You can read more about the adventure at their website, SouthernBBQBoys.Com.
I may have to disagree with the BBQ being pork only though…
While I will admit that is the highest form of the art of grilling!
Whether it is a southern smoker, or Indian tandoori, or Argentine asado, it tis THE WAY to enjoy any type of meat.
You made me HONGRY!
