The Mantuary

April 30, 2008 may go down in history as the day of Chicago’s Biggest BBQ.  The AP recently reported that 50,000 lbs of ribs went up in flames after a truck hauling the meat caught fire along an Illinois interstate.  It is my humble opinion that the local fire company should do their best to maintain said fire at a temperature no greater than 250 degrees for the next 6 hours.  If at all possible, they should try and foil the ribs approximately 1/2 way through the cook to keep them from becoming too dry.  Local authorites should also do their best to pursuade a beer truck or two to pull up and help the cause.  If done correctly, they’re gonna have one hell of a BBQ on their hands by sundown!
