[Down South]

Well, each part of the south has their own kind of Barbeque. For those around here, It is Lexington style Barbeque.

Incidentally, the Lexington Barbeque Festival takes place each fall. Its definately worth the drive. Other places may have good barbecue, but The vinegar based style found in Lexington is hands down the best, IMHO. But in the long run, it comes down to what you were raised on. That having been said, if its not pork, Its not barbecue. Steaks, Hotdogs, ribs, hamburgers, chicken... Those are cooking out, or grilling, but they sure ain't barbecue.

[Constitution Day]

I've had the Lexington-style BBQ, and it's okay, but I still like the "Down East" style better.

Also, I have to correct my wife every summer when tells people we had "a barbecue" when we only cooked chicken or steak!
She has a good excuse; she's not from these parts... 8^)
