I'm a big fan of Myron Mixon. I've read a couple of his books, and I've learned the little bit that I know about barbecue from those books.
Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.
I've never really been a barbecue guy.
There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory.
I don't cook ribs in my own home. I let my dad cook the ribs. He's from St. Louis, Missouri. I like to use a grill, but that's my dad's domain.
Grilling, broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to call it - is an art, not just a matter of building a pyre and throwing on a piece of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach.
My family barbecued a lot; good barbecue is more complicated than you think.
My favorite thing to do... is to get my big trailer grill and smoke some meat and sit around with my buddies all day for 12 hours cooking that and then eat at the end of the day.
Some guys smoke. Some guys drink. Some guys chase women. I'm a big barbecue-sauce guy.
Bacon's not the only thing that's cured by hanging from a string.
