somebody shut me the fark up.
In our current society trends tend to ride a wave.
In the case of BBQ, we have a cooking technique that is hundreds, if not thousands of years old, however it has never been mainstream.
It has always been a small segment of the population carrying on traditions of the past.
In recent years with the advent of televised food & BBQ competitions, there has been an overwhelming increase in interest in the once niche hobby of BBQ.
Once a trend hits the peak or high point in the wave, they next step is typically a downward slide.
My question is this:
Has BBQ hit the peak? has it "Jumped the Shark"?
Here is my (completely circumstantial and speculative) evidence:

:tsk:
History seems to suggest, that once the Big 10 in food get involved, things tend to go downhill.
