This is a pretty cool idea @foxbrosbarbq had to help out employees affected by the health crisis. 20 bucks buys you a raffle ticket for a 6000 dollar value BBQ party after the crisis is over. Fox Bros is good stuff – get in on this if you feel you can. https://t.co/bPzxRxeE4c

There is no ‘I’ in barbecue

Just a reminder that when you patronize your local barbecue joint you're not just supporting the owners/pitmasters: there's a whole eco-system that keeps them supplied & operating. To make barbecue, it takes a team. My latest for the @HoustonChron #HouBBQ https://t.co/TfmJQrNFa7

Johnson Family Barbecue in Durham had a recent incident with a Postmates driver and the owner Wayne Johnson has made things worse by responding to negative Yelp reviews with racist and inflammatory language

The death of barbecue hash was perhaps premature, writes Robert Moss for Southern Living

The reports of the death of hash and rice are greatly exaggerated. @buxtonhall @bscracklinbbq @htbbq @swig_swine @MelvinsBBQ @PoogansSmkHouse @SmokyOakTaproom & @DestinationBBQ are witnesses for the defense. https://t.co/qBvmR7sFik #bbq #eatbbq #hashandrice
