SXSW 2019
The Evolution of Regional Barbeque
Description:
As one of the most hotly debated food topics, regional barbeque is one of the longest standing American culinary traditions with deep cultural and personal affiliations, especially for Southerners. In 2017, the proclamation that Brooklyn barbeque is a new regional style taking over the world by VICE ignited a furry of social media rage, and commentary on what defines authentic, regional barbeque. Pit Master Charlie McKenna of Lillie’s Q cultivated his techniques in South Carolina, then further refined and expanded his techniques and flavors on the competitive barbeque circuit. See him demo some of the latest techniques and recipes that capture the ever-evolving barbeque scenes from the Carolinas to Memphis, and even Brooklyn.
