BBQ Family teaching Pad Thai
“Country music singers, have always been a real close family…….”
-Hank Williams, Jr.
“Who is this young lady?”
“This is Ali, she’s my BBQ family”
That’s a lot easier than, “This is Ali, her mom, Jessica, is married to Ken, who…..”
You hear “barbecue family” or more likely see #bbqfamily quite a bit lately, but what does it mean?
Well, this is Ali. We know her parents from the BBQ world. Ali needed some prerequisite hours toward her pre-med program in college.
So, Ali was driven from Virginia to Yazoo City, MS by her granddad where she spent a week working with Doc in his clinic. While she was here, she taught the Barbeque Princess and Pitmaser J how to make Pad Thai. Then Ali’s mom, Jess showed up from Virginia in a VW beetle to drive her back home. But not before a little brunch with Benton’s bacon supplied by Jess and some Bloody Mary Brisket and Egg hash (recipe coming soon). Why did this happen? We’re BBQ Family.
