Meat bracketology
In honor of the NCAA Final Four this weekend, we have a tournament bracket of a different sort: a competition of meats. Instead of four geographic regions, ESPN’s Paul Lukas divides the competitors into a Beef Region, a Pork Region, a Sausage Region, and a Meatscellaneous Region. BBQ fans will be disappointed to find, however, that no slow-smoked products made it into the Final Four. Oh well, there’s always next year (both for BBQ and for my Duke Blue Devils).
