BBQ: noun vs adjective

Tony (one of many ex-managers) is in town on business; we met Friday evening at Pappas Bar-B-Q (Northwest Highway, near 35-E). The real stuff is hard to come by in his part of the world - he lives in one of those Blue States, where Barbecue is an adjective or verb rather than the noun it is supposed to be.

Examples:
let's go git some barbecue! (correct)
let's barbecue some weenies! (wrong)
let's git some barbecued tofu! (criminal)

Two things in particular set Pappas Bar-B-Q apart from the competition:

1) they have a drive-thru window (at least in Dallas, that's unique for barbecue);

2) they have a breakfast menu. That's right, breakfast barbecue.

Ah, life is gooood.

by-the-by: Tony and I calculated that the last time we met was 1998, so we agreed to meet again in 2010 (every 6 years). See ya soon, Tony!
