New BBQ Pitmasters ~ Kentucky Style ~ At The Top Of The Hour

I'll do it if you will do the same in KY. Never forget your roots.

Mutton aside lol its was an interesting episode. Maybe not my favorite but pretty cool that the team that won just threw the meat on the pit and that was that.

Yeah, I thought the episode was a lot of fun! It was nice to see something other than ribs, brisket, or pork shoulder being cooked. And, no one pulled out the bottle of Parkay!

Europe is going to be pumped with the new outlook on tourism. The crisis over the Euro may have just come to an end and that trip to England just got A LOT cheaper.

I'm going to need you to provide some documentation on the naming rights. Actual geographical regions play no role in this change of history. Its only who had an official name first. If you never named it you can't claim it. :)

Bro, I'm all good with you. I have no ill will or malice. I'm just a BBQ buff who has to go with the facts as they are presented by history.

My grandmother is one of the only two matriarchs of the Patawomeck tribe here in VA. Her lineage goes back to the sister of Pocahontas. You know, the one who betrayed her to the English?

In fact, if anyone can show that they are the child or grandchild of my grandmother, they are admitted into the tribe with no other questions asked.

So, I think that pretty much settles it. You can read more here - http://www.patawomeckindians.org/

I'm like you, bro! I love BBQ. No matter where it originated and no matter where it's cooked, if it's good, I'm a fan. But, I also like to acknowledge the history of it too.

Texas BBQ has it's own history and heritage. Kansas City has it's heritage which came from Tennessee. Memphis barbecue has it's roots in Greek cooking recipes. And Kentucky and much of the rest of the South has it's roots in Virginia barbecue.

I don't fight it. I just enjoy it for what it all is.

You talk about some "change in history" but you provide no citations. Are you just ticked that you have to acknowledge the influence of Virginia in Kentucky or do you have some historical facts to back it up?

I'm waiting for some citations rather than just snide remarks.
