New 'Cue
New Barbecue in Georgia
In the last 40 years Georgia and the American South has experienced rapid social, economic, and cultural change. Some lament that, as a result, the South is no longer the South. But the strength of an enduring South as a distinct region lies in the fact that things like modernization, migration patterns, and new ethnic influences have slowly been absorbed into the region’s culture. More people are moving into the region than ever before, bringing with them their cultural customs. Often, the culinary traditions that they bring influences the types of food already found in the region, like BBQ. Such change is sometimes subtle, like altering the ingredients used to make a BBQ sauce; sometimes a new side dish becomes a “new” Southern tradition. And different styles of BBQ-what kind of meat is smoked, what side dishes are served with the BBQ, and even what type of sauce is used have blurred distinct lines or unique ‘styles’ of BBQ that represent specific regions of the South. Today, multiple sauces are offered in BBQ places as a way to appeal to people’s preferences or different sides that are not specific to a region’s traditions. The BBQ places that appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s and forward represent some of those changes. Many try to maintain the traditions of the region while adapting to the new preferences.
