Miss List #6

#6: Real BBQ

THIS is not real BBQing:




As you can see, fire does not at any point, touch meat. To me, this is more like...frying without oil? But this is a public BBQ grill, as the Gold Coast has them all up and down the beachfront parks. I do admit, some home BBQ grills actually grill meat with real fire.

I had a conversation about BBQ the other day and I realized the other thing that's missing from the "BBQ menu" here: smoked meat. They love the smoked salmon here - which is indeed yummy, but smoked BBQ meat is rare, perhaps non-existent. One of my favorite dishes to order in a BBQ restaurant is a (smoked) pulled pork sandwich, smothered in the hottest, spiciest BBQ available - yum! I'd pay a lot of money for one of those right now!
