When we reach these, the bleakest and coldest days of winter, my mind inevitably turns towards the warm days of summer and one of America’s favorite pastimes:
Barbeque.

Doing research for a BBQ restaurant website, I ran across these. The names alone kinda' make me salivate... There's
Famous Dave's (my vote for best website),
Bubba Lou's,
Bodean's (BBQ in London?),
Armadillo Willy's,
BJ's,
Big Joe's,
Dallas BBQ (in NYC, go figure),
Dickey's,
McClard's (going with the pig theme...),
Stubb's,
Texas Pride... it's pretty much a never-ending, mouth-watering list. And it turns out to be torturous, because I'm in the Yucatan and there's no real BBQ for thousands of miles around.

The Best Food You Never Had: Reading Jake Adam York's juicy essay on the art of the
barbecue, I was once again sadly reminded I've never had the pleasure of tasting real, Southern U.S. open-pit
barbecue. I have no idea whether it's better in
Texas,
Kansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky or Georgia; whether
pork is better than beef; smoked is tastier than plain... Then I realized there are quite a number of other delicious foods (
like fresh abalone sashimi; Alaskan king crab cooked live; a clam-bake on the beach; real wasabi; smoked sablefish; fresh unsalted caviar; an oyster Po'Boy...) I've never tried. It's an interesting gastronomic category: something you've read about and heard about and probably drooled over, that you just
know you'd love if only you had a chance to try it! So forgive my curiosity: what's the best food you've never had? [
