Red Alert

RED ALERT: It has come to Bill's attention that an aggressive campaign to eradicate genuine Southern barbecue has "done snuck up on us," to coin a phrase. This campaign is being waged by a commercial oufit calling itself (of all things) "Southern Pride." This company markets an automated "cooker" that purports to save costs and time. It's phoney baloney, and baloney's not even barbecue. "Southern Shame" is more like it!   Barbecue by definition is pork slow cooked over hickory coals in an open pit--if you don't believe me, check your Oxford (Miss.) English Dictionary!  They claim to have closed over 1000 open pits!  Bill will no longer review any but genuine open-pit establishments. But Bill will be compiling a blacklist of "pseudoque" places. You know who you are and you are warned!

[Tropic-Al's BBQ Review]

Thanks for sticking up for real CUE! Even though I am a damn yankee I appreciate the real stuff. We can and do have a few real cue joints up here in new york but nothing resembles the culture of southern cue. I know because grandaddy was from Jackson SC and we slow cooked whole hogs all night long.

Ain't no replacin' authenick cue if i could borrown your term
