Well c'mon....BBQ 'started' at everyone's house right??

I'm pretty sure it must have just been invented in Ohio because nobody here seems to have discovered it yet!

They still think Damon's is the home of great BBQ and subscribe to the boil 'em and drown 'em in sauce method of Q'ing. And don't forget the liquid smoke!

True Story
my wife's friend was talkin about how great the Famous Dave's out by the Kansas Speedway was and how she likes BBQ, blah blah, and so I was talkin to her and said that I could smoke up some ribs and brisket for her if she liked.

She was like, really? , so how do you do it?? So I was going through the motions and she said, so you add liquid smoke and stuff too, right?

I was like, , no.......and she's born and raised Kansas City!! LOL, I got a good chuckle out of that

Unfortunately very true and typical. How many times have people told you that they don't think your Q is cooked all the way. It's pink! LOL!

Funny thing around here, other than the American Royal, there really isin't a ton of Q places and the 'hype' so to speak about BBQ, most people associate KC with steaks and steak joints a plenty around here!!

Many hole in the wall Q joints that are good, get to know the owner, management, etc....most of the time though, like all you, I'm Q'n the stuff at home!

You men all know BBQ came from Texas, heck, everybody in Texas knows that!

Actually I thought it came from Africa, when the first Europeans met the first African's. After further reflection that's probably how people began to associate BBQ with boiled meat!

My research indicates BBQ was invented by Vikings, an offshoot of cave men, when they smoked their herrings over an oak fire.

Hey, it's as good an answer as any

Well down at Graham we was taught the pig barn caught on fire down in China and them hawgs was roasted alive..or they started out alive anyway..then some smart chinaman stuck his finger into one of em and put the finger in his mouth and felt like it was an improvement over eating them raw or some such thing. In fact I had a text book with a picture of it one time. May have been the same book which had the illustration of a milk snake sucking milk out of a cow's udder. It been a few years back.
