Northern team wins southern BBQ competition
For the seventh year, a team from this region, who call themselves iQue, competed at the Jack Daniels Barbecue competition in Lynchburg, Tenn. This year they won! Led by pit master Chris Hart of Hopkinton (above, second from left), iQue, who cooked on a custom-built Jambo Pit, was sponsored by Harpoon Brewery and Wicked Good Charcoal.
On Nov. 15, iQue is working with Harpoon to host Harpoon Helps Pre-Thanksgiving Beer-B-Q, an event that costs $60, which buys five turkeys for the Greater Boston Food Bank.
Attend the event, and you get to donate to the Food Bank and feast on this:

The Recipe Box Project:
If you want to contribute a recipe to The Recipe Box Project, please write it below. Also tell us where you got it (package box, cookbook, mom, friend -- include the name). We're looking for the kinds of dishes that people grew up on, that were served at family suppers, that tell a story, that are typically New England, or that you brought with you from a far away place to New England. We will print one of the recipes in the Food section once a month. To ask any questions, write to Debra Samuels, who is overseeing this project, at recipebox@globe.com.
