Gasp: Instapundit disses Texas BBQ
Ahem. It appears that Instapundit has a problem with Texas BBQ:
IT'S THE SMELL OF TEXAS HOME COOKIN' -- and I don't mean that beef stuff they pass off as barbecue.
WHAT?! That boy needs to clear his head and get right with the Lord.
Laurence suggests that a family-friendly blogger (blogHOUSTON fits that bill!) invites Glenn to the Rodeo Cookoff in February. Okay then, come on down Mr. Reynolds and have some Texas BBQ!
We can also hold the next Houston blogger gathering at a Goode Co. restaurant, for some delicious Texas BBQ, if Mr. Reynolds wants to join us. =)
I do like this email he posted from an offended Texan:
Just because you hillbillies in Tennessee don’t have the money to raise cattle the way we do here in Texas, doesn’t mean you know how to barbeque. I grew up in Kansas City and have my share of time in Memphis and Chicago and used to be an apostate about barbeque until I moved to central Texas and saw the light. There is no piece of meat of any kind made in the world that can exceed a piece of brisket from the Kretz Market in Lockhart, Texas. They were making barbeque there when people in Tennessee were still living in trees and eating pig guts.
As some famous blogger might say, heh.

EVEN MORE RELATED: bH commenter chw9989 has written up his own BBQ thoughts. Here's a small taste:
Barbecue brings out a passion for food in people that might otherwise be content to eat beef stroganoff from a box every night without ever wondering if there's something out there that's better. Everyone (I don't care where you're from) knows someone who knows someone with a great dry rub, or a family recipe for sauce, or some special way of roasting a certain cut that makes it delectable. Barbecue is one of the things in America that reminds us all of the connections we can make with one another through food - it's not just a meal, it's a regional identity, a family heirloom, an absolutely indispensable part of a family gathering.
