This is a fantastic book.



Broken into essays on different aspects of central Texas barbecue this book gets into the cracks of the culture which fostered and made barbecue in this region of the counry what it is.



Highly recommended for people who want to understand why Texas barbecue is the fascinating cross cultural mishmash that it is today.



Barbecue is the ultimate American peasant food which breaks down and transcends economic, class, and racial differences.



This is not a book for people looking for recipes but plenty of important teqnique is discussed.
