I love barbecue. My father was from Texas, so it was natural that we'd be around it sooner or later. Now I eat at BBQ restaurants every chance I get. It helps that I love to cook and grill food. So when I saw this book, I knew it had to be mine. Let me first say that there isn't anything in this book that disappointed me, and it is written for both beginners and seasoned BBQ'rs alike.
Mitch starts off with the basics: (After, of course, showing us what makes him such a great barbecue pitmaster!) the fundamentals of barbecue, the tools you need, and then...the rubs, sauces, and tools. But then we get to the 'meat' of the book itself: cooking the meat.
Pulled pork, brisket, burnt ends...yum! But there's so much more: seafood, salads, muffins; things you never knew you could 'cue. Also added are extra yummy sauce recipes and items from the kitchen that are perfect as sides and desserts. This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves to barbecue, and even gives the seasoned griller and smoker something new to look forward to. This is a book worth having.
