Sauce Boss Gazette
Volume 8 Number 8 * August 2000

As the summer draws to a close, I've got to stop and take a long, deep breath. We've done some hard travelin', seen some beautiful country, and most importantly, we've been able to hang with our good friends along the way. We came. We saw. We ate everything in sight. It's been a good run. "Recipes" has been a chart topper on Amazon.com for over a year in the "emerging artists" category. Our newly released "Best of the Sauce Boss" has been selling like hot cakes. All you crazy Parrotheads have made our life more "interesting" since your fearless leader started singin' the praises of the Sauce Boss. Southern Comfort jumped on the train, sponsoring shows in New York City and Peoria. We appeared on three national TV shows: CBS Early Show, Extra, and CNN Showbiz Today (which actually has a worldwide audience). Our website was hit for the millionth time. Life is good!

THE GEORGIA PIG The Georgia Pig serves barbecue the way barbecue should be served. It's an institution... a period piece... a cartoon... Snuffy Smith would be right at home in this rustic cabin kitchen. Stereotypical to the detail. BBQ incarnate. Many folks would travel way off the beaten path, down long dirt roads, and through deeeeep woods to find Q this good. But this little shack is not at the end of a cryptic route. No streams to ford, no faded signs to decipher, it's easy. Exit 6 on I-95 in Brunswick Ga. Bout as quick as Burger King and so much better. These guys carry on the primal tradition. A huge fireplace with a steel mesh grate is loaded with LHOF (large hunks of flesh) beef, pork, ribs, and sausage smoking over an open flame. As you order, meat is taken from the fire and pummeled with a meat cleaver into fine pieces with a few larger chunks. The crispy outer edges mix with the tender moist center pieces to give a heavy "Q" texture. Or what I call the "Quotient"-the proportion of crisp to tender meat. This is what separates good barbecue from just barbecue. The only way to do this is to pull the meat off the fire and eat it right there. It just doesn't work with meat that's been sitting around for any time at all. Served with respectable slaw and beans. ICB root beer or cream soda. Cane syrup (in season) and that funky sulfur well water adds to the cracker ambience.
