Review
“Barbecue Lover’s The Carolinas” is a book to pack in your suitcase rather than keep on the kitchen bookshelf. ... . they represent the full sweep of Carolina barbecue traditions and that they are among the very best that the two states have to offer.” I am sure I gained weight while making my way through the book. I love the calendar of barbecue festivals. My husband and I now stand ready to give the true proof to this book — take Moss’s implied challenge and hit the road to try some of these places for ourselves. (The Sun News Network)
