Kansas City Barbecue
There are two delicious ways to cook over an open flame: barbecuing and grilling. The former, often shortened to BBQ - or just "cue" - involves cooking all kinds of meats low and slow over hardwood or charcoal until they're tender and flavorful. Grilling, at the other end of the spectrum is hot and fast. And while grilling is the quick route to dinner, barbecue is the long, meandering road, as well as the destination.
Both evoke images of cooks doing their thing outside on a sunny day, garnished with chef's hats, tongs, skewers, and more. But only BBQ brings with it an air of die-hard competition and regional pride.
