Emeril does, after all, come from a world of produiction kitchens. And many 
rib-a-que joints par-boil their stuff before exposing it to smoke. Cuts 
waaaaaay down on the time to get tender product. So, whilst it's easy to be 
a BBQ snob and look down one's nose at the work-a-day restaurateur who uses 
short cuts to produce a tasty product and pay the light bill and meet a 
payroll, the real world dictates that there is sh...tuff that goes on in a 
commercial kitchen that would boggle your mind.

ENJOY!!!
