Bourgeois' Books

Product Details

The BBQ Test: How to Be American (Even If You’re Wrong) is a witty, sharp-edged romp through America’s culture wars — equal parts roast, reality check, and backyard invitation.

B. Alan Bourgeois skewers both left and right with humor and heart, exposing the contradictions, hypocrisies, and hilarious contradictions that make America, well… America. From guns and granola to taxes, identity politics, and state fair corn dogs, this book reminds us that being American isn’t about winning arguments — it’s about staying at the table long enough to pass the potato salad.

Perfect for readers tired of outrage but not ready to give up hope, The BBQ Test is satire with a purpose: to make us laugh, cringe, and finally admit that we have more in common than we think — even when we’re sure the other side is wrong.
