The Groupon Guide to: Barbecue Secrets
Every barbecue joint boasts a secret ingredient or technique that makes its sauce unlike any other. Since most barbecue chefs have taken these secrets to the grave, here's a new list of public-domain barbecue secrets for the aspiring grillsman:
- Throw recipe thieves off your trail by filling your sauce with decoy ingredients such as talc, water, and heaping spoonfuls of rival sauces.
- Age your sauce in an oak cask for 15 years—it doesn't do anything, but you'll sure be hungry by then.
- Go bananas—add bananas to your sauce!
- BBQ is short for B.B. Queen—the wife of legendary bluesman B.B. King—and real barbecue sauce must contain exactly one of her soulful tears.
- As with success in any field, the real secret ingredient is confidence —except in barbecue sauces, in which it is horseradish.
