hi molly,
i lived in richmond virginia for a while, and early on, i said i was going to have a barbeque (and i meant a picnic with grilling) and was informed, quite seriously, that BarBQ meant pulled pork...of course those from other BarBQ states would even argue with that definition.
but i will tell ya, even the best BarBQ food up here is no comparison to even average in Virginia....Pulled Pork and Hushpuppies, that's what i remember...and i can't believe none of the BarBQ places up here serve hushpuppies....they brag about being "authentic" and think they're doing well for having fried green tomatoes, but no hushpuppies! that's heresy.....ok, now i know i'm gonna hear it from other BarBQ capitols about what constitutes "proper BarBQ"
sue
