Yes, There is Authentic Barbecue in Philadelphia: “In the beginning there was Barbecue, and it was good. Indeed man’s first hot meal was a backyard cookout. Throughout the ages, barbecue has been the food of man and gods. It was the aroma of smoked meats that drew the gods weary of their repasts of manna and ambrosia-down from the heavens to interfere with the lives of mortals.”
