Parker’s cooking method — mostly gas-cooked barbecue — causes some controversy: Can it meet the standards of the barbecue purist? I agree with the barbecue experts who simply overlook the gas-cooked controversy and make their judgments based on the results, and you should, too. Eric Lippard, one of the managers of Parker’s, reminded me, “It is still pit-cooked barbecue, and there aren’t enough trees in North Carolina to cook it all.”
