I have a confession to make. I love barbecue. I can't go much longer than a few days without a dose of that smoky-smelling pork slathered in sweet-red sauce with a touch of Tabasco to add tingle to my tongue. Here in the South, we have five major food groups, which include fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and hickory-smoked pork. I have eaten in some famous barbecue places and wondered why. I have also eaten in some unknown hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints and wondered why not. In the 80s, when I lived in Georgia, I discovered a newspaper columnist/humorist named Lewis Grizzard and Sprayberry's Barbecue.
