Appalachian BBQ Dinner: celebrating BBQ in the East

Stretching from the southern tier of New York state to northern Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, many who live in this region will argue it holds the country’s best BBQ. Appalachian cooking is one the oldest and most constant forms of American cookery with deep roots running as far back as 15,000 years ago. This first BBQ dinner of the season will explore foods native to the Appalachia area, exploring different flavors and tastes from this mountain region.
