Moving to the South has resulted in a few changes in my eating habits -- especially the introduction of BBQ. Megan wrote earlier today about different names for the cooking tool: BBQ vs grill.

In North Carolina BBQ is the product (and it isn't actually cooked on a grill). BBQ restaurants are a big deal around here. The regional differences are somewhat crazy (Eastern NC vs Western NC vs mustard-based Low Country SC vs Memphis vs GA BBQ) but I'm trying them all. BBQ restaurants, like all foodservice sites, can be hit with outbreaks.

Like here, and here. 

And this week's food safety infosheet -- A Salmonella outbreak at a BBQ restaurant in Memphis.
