May is National Barbecue Month, when we celebrate with all things scorched -- both food and our newborn baby-pale shoulders. Raise your hand if your dad or uncle burned himself while trying to be the barbecue king? Most of us have watched in slow motion horror as a family member squirted lighter fluid directly onto an open flame to "make sure" the fire is really going. Two flame-broiled eyebrows and two months of shame later, they would probably agree that real barbecue should be left to the professionals.

From midtown, head north on Grant Street until you reach the Boxcar Bar B Q. It's a smaller eatery, but its food is heavy on delicious. Click through the gallery to find out more about this local treasure, but try not to let your mouth water too much. Other people may need to use that keyboard.
