Those southern boys know their bbq, and they got credit for learning. Besides learning about bbq I think these guys might now be qualified to become social media specialists. What do you think? I think I would go back to school to take this class.

We are four average college students from Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, AL and we are embarking on a trip of our lifetime. Through the Interim program, we are embarking on a 17-day academic journey across the South to eat, analyze, and blog about Southern barbecue. Yes, we get college credit to eat and write about barbecue! Our project will focus on the cultural origins, differences in style, and significance of Southern pork barbecue through the framework of food and travel writing. Primary project output will be an interactive group blog (updated daily throughout the month…Check out our blog at bbqboys.blogspot.com.) and individual research papers (submitted at the conclusion of the Interim term). We appreciate all of your time and support.

Here’s an example of their critique of one of the stops on the tour.
