What BBQ means to me.

I have wanted to write this for quite some time. I have been asked why I like BBQ so much by many people. This question got me to thinking of all the things that I do love about Q. My first memories of BBQ are when my dad used to grill with his brother over in Clovis, NM. We would visit my uncles almost every weekend. My dad and Mario would start the grill and pop a top on a cold beer. Me my brother and all my cousins would run around playing. I remember the smell of the meat. Once it was done we would all eat and then go play again. The parents would all sit around and talk about whatever it is they talked about. Those were great times and great memories.

Now many years later I find myself carrying on the tradition. I get together with my family and friends and we grill and have fun while the kids play. So what does BBQ mean to me? BBQ means a gathering of family and friends to consume grilled and smoked meat while enjoying each others company, creating memories that are unforgettable. I Love my family and friends and I Love "Q"!
