The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue

North Carolina is home to the longest continuous barbecue tradition on the North American mainland. Authoritative, spirited and opinionated, “Holy Smoke,” by John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed with William McKinney, explores the lore, recipes, traditions and people who have helped shape North Carolina’s signature slow-food dish.

“Sure to be a favorite with folks who love the Tar Heel state and its history and foodways,” said Metro Magazine.

“Sheer fun. . . . Informative, fast-paced, thorough, and filled with facts,” said Jack Betts, The Charlotte Observer.

“Even if it didn’t taste so good, we would like North Carolina barbecue for its inspirational nature,” said Jane and Michael Stern of Roadfood.com.

With 328 pages and 61 sidebars, it’s $30 in hardcover at bookstores.
