Clueless you are about that. The only people who would say that are those who are, um, from away. (Seriously, in all my life I've never heard anyone born and raised in NC use barbecue as a verb or use it to refer to "grilling out.")
And yes, the obnoxiousness runs rampant when it comes to barbecue. I would never deny that -- I revel in it. It's part of the fun, kind of like rooting for a college sports team.
I love Memphis barbecue, I love Kansas City barbecue. I love just about anykind of barbecue. I tend to take the same view of barbecue that Duke Ellington had about music. There are only two kinds: good barbecue and the other kind. You find the good and the bad in all kinds of barbecue.
But for me, as much as I love it all, nothin' beats a good pig pickin'. I'm just saying.
And my initial point still stands -- it's just kind of odd for Sticky Fingers to call that thick, tomatoey stuff "Carolina" anything.
