This Spring NDSU will be back for the second annual NDSU BBQ BOOT CAMP! Thank you to everyone who helped make the program a success in 2009. Last Summer NDSU was able to reach out to nearly 1000 people in North Dakota! NDSU’s team success helped earn the honor of receiving the 2009 Program of Excellence Award through the NDSU Extension Service.

Barbecue: Relax, it’s not really French.

Well folks, “grilling season” is upon us! It is the season of barbecue cook-offs and other assorted celebrations that include outdoor roasting of meat. With all this attention to the BBQ, I started wondering; what is the origin of this cooking method and the word itself. I had always thought that both the word and the method had come from a French origin. So I did some digging. Turns out the origin of the word remains a point of debate and (as with many things) the French claim the origin of not only the word itself, but the cooking style.
