Cheerwine Barbecued Chicken? Cheerwine Barbecued Chicken.

In North Carolina, barbecue is a thing we eat, not a thing we do, except when it comes to chicken. We turn right around and use the same term to describe grilled chicken coated in sticky sauce at a cookout. So barbecue chicken with Cheerwine? Why not? https://t.co/U9wZlBxXCJ

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
