Weekend Book Giveaway: Real Barbecue

Posted by Ed Levine, October 20, 2007

Until almost twenty years ago, I still thought barbecue was the steak my dad grilled for us every Sunday in the summer (the side dish for that meal was pizza, but that's another story). Then I read Vince Staten and Greg Johnson's thoughtful, comprehensive, and passionate national guide to barbecue, Real Barbecue, and that got me hooked on 'cue. I knew then that the pursuit of serious barbecue would be a lifelong one for me. Sadly, their book went out of print, and my only copy is now so dog-eared and barbecue sauce-stained it's falling apart.

Last week a friend told me that Staten and Johnson had put out a revised edition this summer. Sure enough, when I logged on to Amazon, there it was. And thanks to the good folks at Globe-Pequot Press, we're giving away five copies of Real Barbecue.

To enter to win just tell us the name of your favorite barbecue joint.

Winners will be chosen at random from among the comments, and the contest will close Monday at 6 p.m. ET. The usual Serious Eats contest rules apply.
