I find the whole chauvinistic “My BBQ is better than yours” shtick we are treated to on various food TV shows and writing to be artless and crude. Food SHOULD be inclusive and NOT exclusive. Food is not about testosterone-laden showmanship, nationalism, or any of those misplaced concepts.
Food should not be for a brag match, its not for a throw-down.
Such hubris turns me off and I really don’t care how delicious that BBQ might be.
I prefer to look at each BBQ experience for what it is - a personalized recipe that has its own unique attributes. Each way is good in itself and can be appreciated that way. Its exciting because this means that there are so many BBQs to try in this life!
