Today’s Close-up
Barbecue on the Beach
Victor Wang (Questrom’22) (from left), Dan Schindler (COM’22), and Tony Porco (Questrom’22) take a break from their loaded plates to mug for the camera May 17 on the BU Beach. Those plates were loaded with barbecue fan favorites like buttermilk biscuits, beef brisket, burnt ends, and pulled pork from local spots Blue Ribbon, Redbones, Smoke Shop, and Sweet Cheeks. Why such gustatory largesse, you ask? Well, it was 2022 Senior Week’s BBQ Showdown, held under pleasant sunny skies on one of Terriers’ favorite spots.
