Barbecue - The Read

Barbecue is America's contribution to the world's table, as well as the beloved regional food of many different Americans. In this episode of A More Perfect Plate, we talk about barbecue's roots in the Carribean, how it became distinctly American, and take a tour through some of the most important and popular regional styles of American barbecue. This is "The Read" where Nick narrates the entire story to save you from reading it - but if you prefer reading, you can find the link to the blog post below!On our companion episode, "The Discussion," Nick & co-host Bridget talk about the styles and then Bridget does a blind taste test of six different sauces to see how many she can get right and which ones are best. You can listen to that episode in this same feed or watch it on our YouTube feed!Read the full Dispatch on our blog.Watch "The Discussion" on YouTube.You can find our hub with the written dispatches, book suggestions, and more at: amoreperfectplate.comPlease be sure to subscribe to keep discovering interesting American stories.
