I come from a grilling background. I remember a Sears grill similar to today’s PK Grill, loaded with Kingsford- squirted with Gulflite or in some cases kerosene. When ashes were totally gray and the grate scraped , meat cooked well done + would follow. Ever chew on the last 1/8” of a well done tbone-bone? Good actually. And when your splitting the steak with your brother, a fight could ensue who’s turn it was for the T. Kind of like the teaspoon of meat on a ham hock in a pot of navy beans. Dad got that.
Now BBQ is an upscale affair. 20-30 dollars per pound, reservations required, long lines, sold out signs.
I met my Mother, sister plus her husband and a nephew at a local BBQ Restaurant for Mother’s Day. I had a cup of coffee. I observed and listened. To my table and those around me. Ran into my Brides cousin and aunt.
I had just ridden my bike in the Texas Heat and BBQ just didn’t sound that good. It looked great though.
Look at the locations, the awards, the popularity of bbq today. Look at the various types of time saving less labor intensive methods of cooking Q.
No longer a poor mans food.
Hang on to your Kingsford and Gulflite (sp). Cherish your backyard traditions of your youth
Don’t lose it.
