Noble Smoke is now delivering in Charlotte

The folks behind Hubba Hubba Smokehouse opened up a “neighborhood bar and grill” called Campfire Grill that has Hubba Hubba barbecue on the takeout menu and plenty of live fire cooking

Evan LeRoy of LeRoy and Lewis argues that “barbecue is the perfect pandemic food” because you can “[o]rder extra and cook it all week.”

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
