I fell in love with barbecue when I was 7 years old. I was visiting my grandparent’s farm in North Carolina and the adults brought back some BBQ from the local volunteer fire department’s annual fundraiser in Lisbon, NC. I didn’t know what it was at the time but I remember the tangy vinegary taste of the Carolina BBQ between two pieces of white bread. It was the first time I ever had REAL BBQ and it is the first time I can ever remember thinking to myself, “That was the best thing I ever tasted!”
