Review
From the Inside Flap
"Dr. BBQ is the premier barbecue teacher in the country today. He is helping to keep the grand old tradition of barbecue alive and well." ---Fast Eddy Maurin, Fast Eddy's/Cookshack
"Those of us who have made a study of barbecue know that Ray Lampe does, indeed, know jack about barbecue. . . . I appreciate his respect for the craft, its history, its traditions, and its practitioners. He's an original, colorful, sometimes abrasive and prickly character who contributes much to the image of barbecue. If he didn't exist we'd have to invent him."
---Doug Worgul, Writer-Editor, Kansas City Star, and author of The Grand Barbecue

About the author

I was a truck driver in Chicago for 25 years and cooking in BBQ contests was a hobby that started back in 1982. When the trucking business had run it's course and was done I moved to Florida to sell BBQ in a parking lot. I taught a few cooking classes and wrote a few articles and the next thing I knew I was writing my "Big Time Barbecue Cookbook". Since then writing cookbooks and traveling to promote them has become my full time passion and I'm loving every minute of it. I still cook contests when I can and do some cooking classes. My schedule is usually up to date at www.drbbq.com

I have nothing but respect for the author and absolutely love his writing. Refreshing and really well writen.
Somehow Dr. BBQ managed to put out a book with four topics running together and at the same time! There is the cookbook portion, stories about regional bbq cuisine all intertwined with explainations of the barbecue competition circuits.
The recipies are for everything in the BBQ world, rubs, sauces, meats, beverages, side dishes, and desserts.
This is not a tour of every restaurant in each area but a
he hits the major ones and then hits a couple no one has heard of.
The book starts out with his tour of Kansas City. There is 16 topics in the Kansas City section, including the American Royal and KCBS itself. The restaurants each get a little write up.
Then he was off to North Carolina (because Kansas City and North Carolina are right next to each other, right?) He heads off with a friend to score each location. Oddly he does not score the KC locations.
Tennessee was next. Memphis in May is discussed as well as 'The Jack.'
Something else about the book sticks out in this section. He discusses the sterotypes of each style and tears it down if it isn't true. For example Putting slaw on a pork sandwich is considered a Carolina thing, however in Memphis you get slaw served on pork sandwiches. Locations are not scored again just discussed.
Now he heads off to Teaxas where he scores the locations again. It is done on a different scale as Carolina but scored none the less.
he then is off to the North Midwest, Illinois, Ohio, etc. and then to the South, the east, and even the west. No locations are rated but there is more the same - locations you may have heard from with some good recipes mixed in.
This would be a good book for any level of BBQer to pick up. A beginner could even start with it. Because of the diversity of the book it could become one of the handbooks of the BBQ world.
