One of my favorite college professors, Lee Rackstraw of Booneville, once told me, “If a restaurant doesn’t have enough respect for the art of smoking meat to advertise EITHER proper spelling of the word: Barbeque or Barbecue, then I don’t bother to stop by and see if it’s good or not. BBQ doesn’t spell anything!” Well, Spooney’s spells out the word BARBEQUE and does a respectable job of smoking of meats on the grill.
