Surprise your guests - Chicago Times[/B][/URL] For reasons I cannot begin to explain — and I have given it considerable thought — the word “barbecue” is impossible to pin down. It simply refuses to commit to one meaning. Or maybe it’s that we refuse to assign one meaning to it, letting it run wild and stand in for different things depending on the word we put next to it. Going to “a” barbecue can be a lot different than going for “some” barbecue or waiting for “the” barbecue to heat up. You’d know, if you were driving through the South, that a sign announcing “the county’s best barbecue” was bragging not about a superior grilling apparatus or a really enjoyable cookout, but a particular style of food. Anytime you see “barbecue” or “BBQ” attached to a restaurant, you know it’s referring to meat that will probably be accompanied by an optional sweet, tangy or smoky sauce. The one thing that’s clear when the word “barbecue” gets mentioned is, a healthy complement of wine is always in order. [/QUOTE]
