KNOWS GRILLIN’ Written by Betsy O’Leary Photos by Stacey Lindsey
For Noah Lindsey, a sixth grade student at the Southeastern Louisiana University Lab School, barbecuing is a passion — and potential career choice. Southerners love their barbecue, and there are many debates to be had over smoky grills about the preference of a dry rub over the glaze of a top-secret family BBQ sauce recipe (and vice versa). The truth is that there are few foods as enticing as barbecue cooking on the grill or in the smoker. Simply catching a whiff of grilling meat wafting through the neighborhood is enough to make someone follow their nose to the source and pull up a chair at the picnic table. You might even say that barbecue is in the bloodline of young Noah Lindsey. He’s the son of Jason and Stacy Lindsey and the grandson of Ponchatoula’s Mike Whitlow. Mike is the owner of The Real Deal — An American Kitchen at 2170 Veterans Avenue in Hammond near the first traffic circle by Club Deluxe Road. 26 | | TangiLifestyles.com 26 Tangilifestyles.com 26 TANGILIFESTYLES.COM
