...I think food is only a part of BBQ. The gathering of friends and loved ones, as well as making new friends, is a huge part of the deal IMO.
New guy talking here so...
I 100% agree with you statement. I BBQ for the people who sit with me around a table or are in my yard for the friendship and fun... besides who can really eat 3 racks, a 9 lb butt, and a S**t ton of ABT all by themselves. It is the process of making it, the time invested and the fellowship involved that is making this an amazing experience.
I have a re-union this weekend. I told my wife I was going to do two butts, a chicken and some ABT's. She questioned me on why so much? No real reason, just because I can and I want to share with everyone. This is what I enjoy. I was tasked with bringing side dishes... I think some pulled pork, ABT's and chicken are great side dishes to hotdogs and hamburgers... IMHO.
