Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Although the end of summer is rapidly approaching, we've still got one of the biggest picnic and barbecue weekends of the season yet to go, so don't put away your grills, charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid quite yet. If you're looking for a little menu planning inspiration for your event this weekend, you might want to check AOL food's grilling page. In addition to having some terrific 'cue tips and recipes from grill master Steven Raichlen (one of which Bob posted about here on Slashfood last July), they've got a couple of BBQ quizzes up to test your knowledge. Be warned though that the quizzes pack a challenging punch (much like good barbecue). The very grill savvy Ed Levine flunked the regional grilling quiz (and I scored a fairly pathetic 4 out of 10).

And I'm a Seattle guy, who's live in Boston and NH.
All "y'all" from the South who do worse that me should be incredibly ashamed...

What you need is a Weber Chimney Starter. Better than lighter fluid fumes in your food

As a southerner who has lived in 3 southern states (Florida, NC and Texas) and eaten BBQ at some of the best (and worst) places in all of them, I still only scored 4/10. Georgia and SC known for their whole pig roasts? Mississipi-style BBQ? Austin, TX, my current home, having smokey pink ribs? Rice and hash? wtf?
The 12 question quiz I thought was a much more valid (as much as a 12 question quiz can be) test. It never ceases to amaze me how few people know the basics like correct internal temperature for chicken or when to add sauce, etc. If I only had a nickel for every time I've seen a well intentioned griller marinating chicken in HFCS-laden BBQ sauce before it went on the grill. Ugh.
