L'Chaim!
I’m not sure what to make of this YouTube video by “CoffeehousePorcupine” in which he slowly expounds upon his love for North Carolina barbecue, but I think I love it. Either this guy is completely sincere or he’s a master of deadpan surrealism; regardless, the video is fairly awesome. That said, one could quibble with CoffeehouseP’s summary of North Carolina BBQ: “The barbecue is different in different areas of the state. You have a sort of a brown sauce on the west coast, you have a red sauce on the east. I’ve tried both, I like the brown.”
Perhaps it was inevitable. I have resisted the Land of Twitter for years because it seems an inherently shallow and useless place. But then it hit me like 140 characters worth of bricks: shallow and useless are essential descriptors of BBQJew.com. With my excuses torn to shreds, I’ve decided to dive headfirst into the Twitter pool dip my hooves into the Twitter hog waste lagoon. Follow me @BBQJew and I’ll do the usual quid pro quo and follow you too. Of course, I don’t yet know exactly what any of what I just said really means, but who cares, it’s just Twitter.
Oh, and I should mention that I’ve yet to invite friends to follow me on Twitter so I have exactly zero followers as I write this post. I must say, it was a bit discouraging when I clicked on the Find People link on my Twitter profile and received this message: ” Sorry, we’ve temporarily run out of recommendations for you. We’re out there looking for more right now. Please check back soon!” Run out of recommentations before making any at all? Jeez.
Below is a press release from that ever so dangerously un-North Carolina barbecue chain, Dickey’s. Read it and weep… and then rush out to support your favorite local BBQ joint (even if it happens to be a Smithfield’s!)

Need I remind you, my fellow BBQ Jews, that Christmas is just a few weeks away? If you are like me (i.e., a Jew who married a wonderful Christian woman who feels the holidays are not complete without a sap-stained tree dropping needles on the floor) or even if you’re not, it’s time to buy your Christmas tree. And you know what’s cool about Christmas trees? Ornaments, that’s what. But not just any ornaments. I can tell that you’re a pretty cool guy/gal because you are reading this blog. Because of that, I know for a fact that only BBQ Jew ornaments will do your Christmas tree justice.
As luck would have it, you can buy BBQ Jew ornaments here. So what are you waiting for? Break into your piggy bank (no pun intended) and get your money ready to spend on ornaments at the BBQ Jew Store . All major credit cards are accepted and operators are standing by, but Hanukkah gelt is not accepted.
