Barbecue, barbeque, BBQ, Bar-B-Q, Bar-B-Que, Bar-B-Cue...Just how exactly do you spell that word?
Apparently there are as many ways to spell barbecue as there are to prepare it: Dry, wet, sweet, sour, spicy, Carolina, Texas, Memphis, Kansas City...and that's just scratching the surface. People who are into barbecue tend to have very definite and particular ideas about what makes it great, and listening to these aficionados explain their reasoning is almost as much fun as tearing into a nice rack of ribs. They tend to get a slightly mad gleam in their eyes as they explain the intricacies of hickory or the relative benefits of using the mesquite tree to smoke beef. But whether you're an expert or an amateur, the good news is that Baltimore has a little bit of everything.
Get it dry and mild or wet and spicy.
