North Carolina Barbecue: Flavored by Time

North Carolina Barbecue: Flavored by Time by Garner, Bob. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780895871527.

If you love barbecue (and please remember that in North Carolina and the South, barbeque or barbecue isnt a verb!), youll love this book. Bob Garner is truly "the barbecue man" and writes so passionately about what is just short of a religion in North Carolina. Indeed, Garner has captured the historical perspective of the evolution of roasted pork and its historical role in life, religion, and especially, politics. He further decodes the decades territorial differences between vinegar-based, Eastern-style barbecue and its Western-North Carolina tomato-based variant. Whatever your palate desires, this book is surely required reading for both natives and newcomers alike. Pickup a copy and then go out, build a fire, and roast some great pork. Mmmmmm.
