Huckabee ain't right. . .

. . .about much, but he managed to stumble upon the truth where barbecue is concerned. Paul Burka disagrees. Paul Burka is a left-wing commie pinko and out of his mind.

Look, if you want to grill some beef ribs or brisket, that's fine. Just don't pretend that, by throwing some sauce on it and letting it sit in smoke for a little while, you're cooking barbecue. You're not.

If you want real barbecue, the way the Good Lord intended, you can go to Shemwell's in Cairo, IL, or you can go to any number of places in Kentucky. My personal favorite is Backwoods BBQ, in Paducah, which serves the best pork ribs known to man.
