Republic of Barbecue: Stories Beyond the Brisket (Bridwell Texas History Series)
"Tar Heels probably shouldn't own up to liking Texas barbecue, but we have no hesitation about saying that we love this book about it. The voices of the folks who make it happen and this book's wonderful photographs add up to a splendid portrait of Lone Star barbeculture." John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed, authors of Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue "This beautiful collection, colorful enough to display as a coffee-table book, contributes significantly to the oral history tradition and the study of barbecue simultaneously." - Journal of American Folklore
