“I believe in Barbeque.”

I’m not sure if I’ve posted this story before – but it is a good one and worth repeating. It’s a link to an essay written and read by Jason Sheehan, “a James Beard Award-winning restaurant critic for Denver’s Westword newspaper. His barbeque obsession began at 16 with a trip to Hercules Chicken and Ribs in his hometown of Rochester, New York.”

To my mind it is a gentle tribute about something that is basic to many of us. A sense of what’s what and how’s how. I’m grateful that he wrote this and to the NPR series “This I believe.” for hosting it.

There Is No Such Thing as Too Much Barbecue

Let me know what you think after reading the article and I do recommend you also click on this Listen Now link to hear the author read it.

Thanks and tip o’the hat to Rod & Sheri Gray who compete at KCBS events as Pellet Envy and posted this on: ALL THINGS BARBEQUE

Hey Barry.
Have i told you lately that you do a hell of a job with the Sizzle newsletter
and the user forums?
You do.
I came down with a bad cold and some bronchial involvement so i feel like crap and can’t taste.
Man if you can’t taste you don’t feel like cooking.
Sneezing and coughing does not make for enthusiastic guests either!

Take care Barry.
dick the sick.
