I can respect watching ones cholesterol. When at home I use little meat and almost no red meat in my cooking. However, eating good BBQ is an event , kind of like Thanksgiving dinner. Not something to do every day (unfortunately), but when the time comes, eating only a salad is not only ungrateful and unpatriotic, but is down right immoral.
Plus, I can garuntee that the gallon of cole slaw is way worse for his health than any BBQ on the menu.
