southern barbecue
Low-and-slow pork
Southern barbecue is meat slow-cooked over wood smoke, a tradition rooted in the American South with fierce regional variations.
Carolina barbecue features pulled pork with vinegar-based or mustard sauces.
Texas barbecue centers on beef brisket.
Memphis claims dry-rubbed ribs.
Kansas City layers sweet tomato-based sauce on everything.
The term covers both the cooking method and the food itself: We're having southern barbecue for the Fourth.
