BBQing is not just for the summer. In fact, 70% of Americans own a grill or smoker.- The longest BBQ marathon lasted 80 hours and was a benefit for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. On that day, Jan Greeff cooked 1,000 hot dogs and 200 pieces of corn.
- There are actually 4 different types of pork ribs. Spare ribs, St. Louis-style ribs, country-style ribs, and baby-back ribs.
Lastly, we should all honor our Declaration of Independence on this special day and keep its important first sentence in mind…
