2 Thursday, November 11,1993 Barbecue: Tangy Taste of Southern Tradition BY MARSHALL BENBOW STAFF WRITER Here in the Tar Heel State, the word “barbecue" tends to conjure up a singular image: choppedpork, cooked tender, laced with sauce, topped by slaw and served on a warm, soft, white bread roll. But venture away from the Carolinas andTidewater Virginia, and barbecue takes on a different meaning. In fact, the word “barbecue” becomes a verb as you go north and is considered “ribs" as you move southwest and west. The chopped barbecue sandwich so loved by North Carolinians is looked upon with different eyes by out-of-staters. Barbecue sandwiches? “That’s that Southern stuff you (all) eat,” said Stacey Sekely, a freshman from Centerville, Ohio. Her reaction is similar to others’ not originally from this area, as the N.C. bar becue sandwich remains a mystery to those who haven’t experienced it. The taste and style have a history all their own. Most barbecue is cooked in a closed pit, where it smokes and cooks for hours over a hickory fire. However, this smoking of the meat wasn’t done originally for the taste. “It had nothing to do with imparting flavor,” said Jim Groot, owner of Red Hot & Blue on Elliott Road. Tribal cultures in Africa and the Polynesian areas used pit cooking because where there was an open fire, there also was smoke to be seen by friend and foe alike, Groot said. Not wanting to attract enemies, they cooked in a covered pit. Slaves on Southern plantations brought this cooking method with them and used it to hide smoke from plantation owners who did not allow slaves to have any posses sions. Because of this method, “closed cooking became a practice,” Groot said. The chopped sandwich (“pre-chewed, as my dad would call it,” commented Los Angeles freshman Colleen Baker) came about from the N.C. use of the whole pig in barbecuing, not just the ribs as residents of most other states do. A little bit of every thing was thrown in, according to Groot. Today, however, quality cuts of pork shoulder most often are used for sand wiches. The shoulders are roasted slowly for hours at a low temperature. Due to the leanness of the cut of meat he uses and the long, slow roasting process, Groot only gets three pounds of meat from THURSDAY NOON: Black Women United will meet in the Black Cultural Center. 12:15 pjn.

The restaurant uses a closed-pit style of cooking that originated in African and Polynesian cultures. a nine-pound shoulder. In North Carolina, there are two basic styles of sauces for barbecue. The most common is the Eastern Tennessee style, which has a thick tomato-base sauce. But it was once believed by residents of Eastern North Carolina and Tidewater Virginia that tomatoes were poisonous, and an alternative pepper-vinegar sauce was derived, referred to as the “Lexington style” by Dick Sears, owner of Little Pigs, Too Barbecue in Statesville.

UNIVERSITY & CITY Faribault carries on his family’s 100-year old tradition. The tradition was passed down to him by his father, with whom he once cooked 14 pigs when he was a boy. Faribault still carries a reminder of that day. “That was first time I ever hurt my back,” he recalled with a smile and a slight grimace. Faribault knows barbecue can mean different things to different people, but the differences don’t matter to him. “I don’t know if it’s an adjective or a noun, but I know it’s good food when it’s done right!” he declared with a laugh. Faribault’s family believes that to get the best pork flavor, a blend of the whole pig should be used, not just the shoulder.

The Faribaults use hickory wood to smoke their meat and cook it from six to 10 ihours. They also use hardwoods such as oak or maple and fruitwoods as well. They hand-chop the pork because they think the machines tend to “macerate the meat.” And while meat selection, cooking and chopping are important, the sauce is the finishing touch. A vinegar-based “eastern” sauce, called “Faribault’s Hot Stuff,” is used, but the other ingredients remain in the family. F aribault doesn't give any clues as to what they might be. “Of course the sauce is a secret recipe. ” HOUSEKEEPERS FROM PAGE 1 dismissed the case. Hight also was asked to consider whether the housekeepers should be able to sue as a group, but because the case was dismissed, Hight did not rule on that matter. Chris Baumann, a 1993 UNC graduate who works with the housekeepers, said he was planning a housekeepers’ rally in the Pit Friday after hearing Hight’s decision. McSurely said Arthur Kinoy, the head of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who represented Martin Luther King Jr., would be at the rally. Chris Smith, a member of the UNC Housekeepers Steering Committee, said the housekeepers were determined to con tinue their grievance against the Univer sity. “We went into the hearing knowing there was no guarantee (Judge Hight) would rule in our favor,” Smith said. “I had a feeling he had made up his mind from the start.” Smith said he remained optimistic that the housekeepers would eventually prevail in their suit. “We’re going to find some way,” he said. “If they think we’re going away they can forget it.” UNC Scientists Win Grant To Examine Black Holes BYJOHNADCOCK STAFF WRITER Charles Evans and James York of the physics and astronomy department have been chosen to investigate the phenom enon of black-hole collisions. The National Science Foundation awarded the two scientists $515,000 to investigate the phenomenon over the next five years. They will serve as co-principal investigators in the study, which will com bine scientists from eight U.S. universities. “This project is possible because of breakthroughs in science made by York and his colleagues,” said Thomas Clegg, chairman of the physics and astronomy department. “Evans is one of the best computational astrophysicists in the country. They are both very valuable and essential to this investigation.” According to Einstein's Theory ofßela tivity, black holes form when a star loses all its nuclear fuel and its mass is compacted into a small core. Gases that surround the core are drawn in by gravitational forces produced by the core. A black hole is so small and dense that not even light can escape, Evans said. “The problem with black holes are that there is no concrete evidence that they exist,” Evans said. “The only way to deter INTIMATE FROM PAGE 1 Robert Matson said he spent a lot of time in the old place. “I was a frequent ‘comer-iner,’” he said. “I didn’t always buy.” Store assistant manager Melissa McMurray, who worked at the old store, said most people were happy with the new place. “Most everyone loves it, ” she said. “I’ve seen a lot of old customers who’ve come in and welcomed us back.” Matson called the new store “marvel ous.” “It lent to the ambience of downtown Chapel Hill,” he said. “Anyone who fre quents Franklin Street missed it.” Ashbum showed off a coffee cup that read, “I helped bring it back —November 1993” and said it summed up the feelings of many employees. “We all had a part in it,” she said. “I swept floors and carried boxes and put together shelves. Even though I wasn’t here to lose it, I helped bring it back.” Still, some book-lovers miss the old store a bit. “(The new store) takes a little getting used to,” Matson said. “The old place had its own charm.

Congress also amended the bill to per mit the Phoenix to provide its sales staff with a 10-percent commission on their advertising revenues as an incentive to generate additional funds. Another article also was added to require the Phoenix to be recognized officially by the University be fore it received funds. Student Congress voted on several other appropriation measures Wednesday: ■ Congress voted to appropriate $3,500 for the Bicentennial Planning Committee.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave is being built in Louisiana and Wash ington but will not be finished until 1999. “It will be able to detect gravitational waves from black holes all over the uni verse,” Evans said. “In order to more accu rately detect black holes, it must rely on predictions made by this alliance of scien tists from all over the country. “The equations that describe the pro duction of gravitational waves are ex tremely complex, and solving them will require the biggest computers existing to day,” he said. “To solve these equations also will give way to even bigger and more advanced computers in the future.” This investigation was made possible by the Grand Challenge program origi nated by the National Science Founda tion. The two-year old program’s purpose is to fund research projects that spur more advanced computers by requiring new com puter technology. some breaking in. “Once some dust gath ers, I think it’ll feel like a book shop,” she said. The Intimate has been on Franklin Street for more than 60 years. The first store opened in 1931 at 205 E. Franklin St., above Sutton’s Drug Store. From there, it moved to the space now occupied by Four Comers. It then moved to the spot cur rently inhabited by Pizza Inn. The Inti mate moved to its present location in 1958, the year Kuralt joined the operation. The old shop burned Sept. 20,1992, in a string of three fires that Sunday night. No one was injured, but the amount of wood and paper in the store made it impossible for firemen from around the county to put out the flames before the building was destroyed. Kuralt immediately began rebuilding the shop. There are eight other Intimate Bookshops, all located in North Carolina. Do not, however, make the mistake of calling them a chain. “We call ourselves a group,” Kuralt said. “Chain has connotations we want to avoid.” Matson said he liked the fact the Inti mate was a local operation. “It’s awfully good to have this as an independent book store downtown, as opposed to the trend toward chain bookstores.” tennial events that will continue through out the year, Moran said. “A iot of students aren’t coming out to events simply because they don’t realize these events are still part of the Bicenten nial,” he said. ■ The Undergraduate History Associa tion was denied its request for S3O. ■ The Cellar Door, a creative-writing publication, received a S9O appropriation. Congress also passed a resolution sup porting the 24-hour visitation program.
