113. BBQ Joints: Stories and Secret Recipes from the Barbeque Belt by David Gelin


BOOK REVIEW: BBQ Joints - Stories and Secret Recipes from the Barbeque Belt by David Gelin

During long holidays, nothing beats firing up the barbie and throwing on a few sausages, some prime cuts of meat and maybe even some robust vegetables. From mesquite to applewood, premier woods are sold to make that barbecue just that little bit special. Ever thought how you can bring this communal meal to a new height without the same thing just switched now and then? Learn secrets, tips and tricks from the big US of A and barbies will never be the same again.

Ride shotgun with barbecue aficionado David Gelin as he follows the trail of smoldering hickory and mesquite. This book features the best - sometimes out-of-the-way, sometimes hole-in-the-wall - places to find great barbecue.

It tells the stories, histories and philosophies of the joints and their owners. The author has the ability to capture the true essence of these amazing people and their legendary old BBQ shrines with his camera. When he added recipes,it became a great book. Therefore, these places are well documented for history's sake.

To me, the photographs communicate the intimacy and passion shared by the people keeping these traditions vibrant and relevant. If I were you, I'd grab a copy and flip through for some truly legendary shots to your upcoming BBQ.
