Barbecue Lover's Guide to Austin

A handbook for barbecue lovers, the Barbecue Lover s Guide to Austin is not a critique with stars, forks, or dollar signs; it is a guide to help you navigate your way through the passionate culture of barbecue in Central Texas.

The guide starts in Austin, helping you locate the trailers, sheds, shacks, and various other joints, and takes you all the way to the small towns out yonder. The truth is that Austin and the small towns in a 30-mile radius offer a vast selection of options. Some are famous and some should be. Unafraid to pass over the most humble of shacks, this guide gives you a real taste of Texas barbecue.

So as Chef / Author Mark Miller says in the Foreword: "Put on your best pair of well worn, comfortable cowboy boots, a pair of non-designer jeans, a real cowboy hat or an old tractor baseball cap, put the smart phone away, thumb through this guide and get ready to experience real BBQ, Austin style."
