Today I was instant messaging with my good friend Nuke during lunch. I was lamenting the fact that we don't have good barbecue where I live, with the exception of a food truck that is only open part time. We don't even have a Famous Dave's, which is top notch chain BBQ. You would think that a community with a reported metropolitan area of over 250,000 people would have some good ole' BBQ, but alas, we do not.
Nuke asked me if I had any theories as to why it was this way, and it hit me like a bolt of lightning...Democrats are to blame for the lack of good barbecue around here!
Before you say "Jake, you're nuts", hear me out. Where I live in Iowa is an increasingly Democratic area. We have a democrat Congressman and we voted for Obama in the last election. Add to that the fact that the best BBQ comes from the South and Texas, traditional Republican strongholds, and one can easily see that Democrats are to blame for the lack of good BBQ in my city.
But let's take it a step further. What do Democrats value? Farmer's Markets! And we have several kick butt farmer's markets around here. I don't think I need to say any more. I believe my point has been made.
With this knowledge, I'm now resigned to the fact that I will have to make my own BBQ or travel for good BBQ until such time as the Republicans seize control of the population in my little corner of Iowa.
