Though not as widespread today, there are still a few places outside of Virginia that proudly serve Virginia-style barbecue.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit\">Sauer&#8217;s Barbecue Sauce is based on an old Virginia recipe. Bubba Lou\u2019s Barbecue near Orlando, FL still sells Virginia-style barbecue and so does the Mason Dixon Line Restaurant in Washington state. There is even a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk\/recipes\/virginia-style-smoked-and-spiced-barbecue-ham-hocks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Virginia-style barbecue recipe that is popular in the UK<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vomfass.at\/virginia-barbecue\" target=\"_blank\">another in Germany<\/a>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit\">Here is an unfortunate account of Virginia-style barbecue in Arizona from the October 3, 1929 edition of the <\/span><i style=\"font-family: inherit\">Arizona Republic<\/i><span style=\"font-family: inherit\"> under the headline &#8220;Fire Destroys Barbecue Shop on Opening Day.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit\">In 1929, J. B. M. Goldsmith (Goldie) invested his savings of $500.00 to open a barbecue stand at 1154 East Washington Street in Phoenix, Arizona. $500.00 in 1929 would be about $7000.00 today. He not only invested his money, he invested his hard work and his expert knowledge of cooking barbecue.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit\">On October 1, 1929, at 7:00 am, Goldie celebrated the grand opening of <b>GOLDIE&#8217;S VIRGINIA BARBECUE<\/b>. However, the day didn&#8217;t go as Goldie had planned. By 1:30 pm, Goldie&#8217;s barbecue stand was in ruins. In only a few hours, the entire operation burned to the ground due to defective wiring. The business was a total loss and Goldie carried no insurance.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit\">I haven&#8217;t been able to determine if Goldie persevered and reopened his restaurant, but I&#8217;m not through researching his story.
