Get Your Grill On

This is a great gift idea for the barbeque enthusiast. My competition team, Pork Pullin Plowboys, is featured on February 7th of the 2008 desk calendar. You can get it at BBQCalendar.com.

Over the last decade, barbecue has exploded from a regional delicacy to a nationwide food phenomenon. “Southern-style” barbecue restaurants populate every major U.S. city. The home-grilling movement is smoking hot as well, with bigger and better barbecuing units rolling off like new cars from an assembly line. Barbecue competitions have become the NASCAR of the food world, with pit crews hungry for victory showing off their grilling skills everywhere from community cook-offs to weekend-long festivals attracting tens of thousands of pork-craving patrons.
