We now have BBQ bacon burgers, brisket tacos, pulled pork nachos, BBQ chicken pizza (huge at California pizza kitchen), BBQ shrimp, smoked hot wings, Jack Daniels steak, brisket burgers, and more pulled pork over everything else than you would find in a 20 £ knocking shop in the UK.
You name it, it gets the BBQ treatment over here.
I suggest you check the menu at an Applebee’s or a Chili’s.
50 years ago the only place we could get BBQ anything where I grew up was an outdoor, roadside pit.
And if we wanted BBQ sauce at home my Mom still had to make it from scratch.
I’ll bet today I could find 3-4 kinds in your local Sainsburys alone.
I’m not sure how you would define transformative, but to me that seems pretty transformative.
