Craig and Duwop, thanks for the information. I have a mild
dislike for the concept of Bobby Flay's Throwdown show, and I find
myself almost always rooting for the little guy. Flay is famous,
has the support of Food Network kitchen and assistants, so to
speak, and winning a Throwdown for him is just an entry in his
logbook. For the people he challenges, on their own turf, serving
their most special dish(es), it means a whole lot more to win. I
support the underdog, usually, and that's why I don't usually
watch it. It's not that I want to see Flay lose; I want to see
the underdog win. <grin>

It's also good to know that either I was not way off in my
recollection of NC barbecue or that things had changed a bunch
since I was run out of town. <grin> It sounds like Bobby Flay
misrecollected what he'd read somewhere.

BTW, Craig, is Red, Hot and Blue still in business? Despite being
a chain, their Memphis ribs were OK.

Our nation should be more like Illinois
and limit all politicians to just TWO terms:
One in office and the second in prison.
