Editorial Reviews

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.
