The McRib Sandwich - Is it BBQ?

You have asked- Is it BBQ?

My question is – Is it food?

One month ago I decided to never set foot in a McDonald's again. I had come to this decision after years of very infrequent visits to the golden arches for occasional “on the run” lunches . I usually go out of my way to avoid fast food restaurants, much preferring local family owned ethnic restaurants of pretty much any persuasion. My aversion to fast food is not specific to McDonald's. I feel the same way about Burger King and Wendys' and KFC. I avoid them, if for no other reason than that they do not serve alcohol.

Big Tent Barbecue

Who doesn't like barbecue? Think about it. It's hard not to like. BBQ's appeal is universal. Just the sound of the word brings back wonderful memories - family get-togethers, sunny summer afternoons in the yard helping Dad start the grill or carry out a cooler of soda and beer. Barbecue is fun. The word itself brings a smile. Barbecue is social. No one barbecues for one. It requires a back yard full of friends or family, casual clothing, and coolers of thirst quenchers. What's not to like?
