5.0 out of 5 stars If you love barbecue, this tells you EXACTLY where to go., August 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Real Barbecue: The Only Barbecue Book You'll Ever Need : A Guide to the Best Joints, the Best Sauces, the Best Cookers-And Much More (Paperback)

An exceptionally useful and informative book. This is a review of the best barbecue restaurants in the country by two men who set out on a barbecue "quest". Each restaurant chosen is described in both a charming and mouthwatering fashion by men who obviously love barbecue. In the last part of the book they offer outstanding recipes from some of the best BBQ joints as well as information on cooking and putting together your own backyard barbecue. Fun reading if you love to eat and fun eating if you follow their advice. Recommended!!!

The best book on barbecue ever written. A labor of love. Staten and Johnson have guided me to great food in many different towns and cities. Find it, study it.
