It's official: you can't say "I'm going to barbecue some chicken."You see, barbecue is a noun ... at least according to New York City filmmakers Hawes Bostic and Austin McKenna. The two artists looked to their roots in North Carolina (Roseboro for Bostic, Winston-Salem for McKenna) and made the documentary Barbecue is a Noun.
Barbecue is a Noun is not just the story of pork cooked slowly (24 hours or more) over wood. According to the filmmakers, it's also the story of the culture that has built up around this food over the last 300 years in the Carolinas.
The filmmakers promise the four C's: cleavers, coals, (pig) carcasses and Carolinians. What more could you want?
