APRICOT SAUCE for PORK
At SUTPHEN'S UP NEAR THE PANHANDLE, THEY SERVE APRICOT PUREE ON the side of every meat order. You can do the same thing at home, or you can make apricot chutney, which also goes well with barbecue. Here's an apricot-based barbecue sauce inspired by Joe Sutphen's apricot sauce.

Excerpt from page 84, Quote from good friend Billy Bones Wall, Sanford, Michigan |
| |
Billy's favorite rib show is in Reno every Labor Day weekend. "There are 2,002 miles of bad road from Michigan to Reno, but I do it gladly. For me, it's the most fabulous selling show in the country," he tells me. |
| Billy tells me funny story about our mutual friend Joey Sutphen, from Amarillo, Texas. |
"Joey always accepts his trophy wearing Tenny Lamas- cowboy boot tops with tennis shoes for the foot part. And Mickey Mouse shorts. He's only 5'6" tall because he's weighed down with so much gold like Mr. T. |
They always have a salute to the previous year's winner. They run videos; it's on national television. This one year he came in for his salute in a Texas duster coat, a big cowboy hat, white frilly shirt, boots, and Levi's. He said, 'I won last year, so I wanted to look special for this party.' |

"Well, when they announced him, he went up on stage and took off his coat and he was packing a real .45 revolver. In a casino. In Reno. You should've seen 'em scramble! Steve Ascuaga, the organizer, handled it so cool. He said, 'Joey has always been a man of impeccable attire, but Joey, you've gone over the top tonight!'" |
"Yep, that sounds just like Joey," I laugh. "He is one colorful character. He's lucky he didn't go to jail for that one!" |
"Luckily they have a sense of humor out there," says Billy. |

Joey Sutphen described his secret to mouth-watering barbecue: "First you stick your arm in the smoke ans when all the hair is gone, that's how you know you're cooking good. When it's almost uninhabitable for human beings, that's when the smoke and sauce get married to the rib."
