What make a Restaurant a “BBQ or SmokeHouse”
Greetings Everyone; It's really easy to get a spirited debate going about what is “BBQ,” and as to whether “Real BBQ” can be cooked on a standard gas fired restaurant grill. “The Wright Gourmet” agrees that there are some really great cooking techniques that can be used to achieve some pretty tasty results using a standard restaurant gas grill, but we refer to that as being “Grilled.” For this Review Magazine, GRILLED IS NOT REAL BBQ!
Absolutely nothing cooked in a non smoke filled oven, or a slow-cooker or crockpot and than drowned in BBQ sauce qualifies as "BBQ;" this imitation "BBQ Style" is just plain baked or stewed meat. Stewed meats bear no resemblance to real BBQ whatsoever... and they do not taste the same. REAL BBQ requires the use of a charcoal or preferably a wood fired grill, BBQ pit, smoker oven or smokehouse; and depending on the cut of meat is preferably slow smoked for hours, or in the case of steaks "Grilled" over high heat using hard wood coals. Real BBQ typically uses real hardwood logs (i/e: Mesquite, Hickory, Fruit woods, or wood pellets) and special seasonings. In the case of "Smokers" or "SmokeHouses," the "Pit Masters" utilize special "secret" herb rubs, mops, bastes and maybe a little BBQ Sauce.
Please Note: The restaurants we list here only feature Real BBQ! There is Nothing Like It, and Nothing Better!
