I bought this book hoping for some interesting tales of BBQ around the country and some inspiring secret recipes to boot. What I got were 1-2 page biographies which gave very little in the way of interesting information coupled with so-basic-it’s-insulting “secret recipes,” all of which were labeled some variation of ‘this recipe is not on the menu at this restaurant.’ OK THEN. WELL, THANKS FOR THAT!
Buy Peace Love & BBQ instead.

This is a nice book containing the reviews of several BBQ joints around the country. The recipes are very basic and really lack innovation. The “secret recipes” lack in any real secret.

Buy this book for some wonderful stories and photos of BBQ Joints across the South that are all one-of-a-kind.

I’m a family member of Hite’s BBQ located in West Columbia, SC. Hite’s is one of the BBQ places featured in the book. My mother and father have been in business since 1957 and I appreciate Mr. Gelin for putting us in his book. As for the “secret recipes”, I think it is hard for BBQ places to give their recipes out for the whole world to see. I hope you’ll stop by to see us when you’re in SC. We are a take out only establishment and we are only open on Friday and Saturday of each week. We’ve been on the news channels, SCETV, and on the front page of the State paper on July 4th 2007. We have a write up about us in the McKissick Museum and now we’re in a book. I hope you enjoy reading the book.

Alphabetically organized by southern states ranging from Alabama to Texas, “BBQ Joints” is a compendium of restaurants and eateries that are presented with anecdotal stories, addresses, phone numbers, monochromatic photographs, and terrific recipes that showcase the variety and diversity of the barbeque — including some legendary side dishes and desserts! From Woody’s Barbecued Rice (Woody’s Bar-B-Que, Arkansas); Simmie Nichols’ B-B-Q King Pig Ear Sandwich (B-B-Q King, Georgia); and Smokehouse Bob’s Patricia Newton’s Sweet Potato Pie (Smokehouse Bob’s, Oklahoma); to Katy Garner’s Hog Heaven Fruit Cobbler (Hog Heaven, Tennessee); Denice Janow’s Austin’s BBQ Macaroni Salad (Austin’s BBQ & Catering, Texas); and Elvis’s Pound Cake (Starlight Grill, Alabama), “BBQ Joints” ably serves as a tour guide planner for the true and traveling barbeque enthusiast.
