I'm wrapping up reading this book. Man! Lotta history, good recipes to
try (Smoked Cabbage, Brisket sandwhich) and the where and why of the
different preferences for/against the following: rubs, sauce, open
pits, pork, mutten and (of course) beef. Some great photos of cooks,
meat markets, and the like.
From what I read in the post about the BBQ movie this book does a
better job.

You are correct sir. I was hoping the BBQ movie was half as good as the
Walsh book. I learn something from it everytime I pick it up. He really
knows (and explains) the difference between the little rural meat markets
that grew up to become BBQ meccas like the big 4 in Lockhart, Coopers in
Llano and Luling City Market in contrast to the urbanized restaurants like
County Line. I really like the photos too.

Sounds interesting. The St. Louis County MO library has it, along with
several others by the author. Think I'll give it a try.

The movie, however, is *not* based on Robb Walsh's book.
You will also probably like "Are You Really Going to Eat That?" too.
And another bbq book that I like is called "Smokestack Lightning" by Eric
Elie.

Frank-

Right you are...my selection of this book was based on the recipe you
shared with me some time ago.
So far, you are batting 100 in my book so, I'm going to look into
those other books.
Now if I could just get some St. Arnold in N.C.....

Q' 4 all so long as it's not parbolied ribs.
