NPR's This I Believe recently featured Denver restaurant critic Jason Sheehan speaking his mind on the subject of barbecue. Sheehan is straightforward and solemn, even when he uses words like "momma" and "'taters." Without getting too technical-no talk of regional methods, wet vs. dry, etc.-Sheehan manages to cover most of the bases in his three-minute speech. Big portions, quality sides and the notion that no decor is too informal as long as the meat is good all get mentioned. Barbecue's role as a lubricant in the civil rights movement also comes into play. None of this will come as a shock to barbecue fans, but nevertheless, listening to Sheehan's credo is three minutes well spent.

I read this article last week and it inspired me to design a shirt. http://www.cafepress.com/shitonfire.60168016 I am not receiving any profits from cafe press for the sale of this shirt. There's also a women's tank http://www.cafepress.com/shitonfire.50214963 , but I think that the black T came out better.
