5 Great Barbecue Joints In Pittsburgh

Barbecue is simply the process of using direct heat to prepare food. Using fire or propane gas, food is either smoked, braised, or roasted. Barbecue also tends to execute the smoky flavor by using various herbs and spices. Some even take this flavor further and use their favorite port and/or liquor. Recently, I discovered five great barbecue joints in the steel city.
