Product Description
Searching for the Dixie Barbecue,with its thought-provoking text and many black and white photos, is a culinary and cultural saga. Here are glimpses of a fragment of society still tenaciously clinging to deep-rooted, primal instincts; to legends of the American frontier; and to the hand-me-down, rural traditions of the Deep South. This is a story about (among other things) regional pride, homespun cookery, backwoods lore, self-effacing "redneck" humor, shameless braggadocio, macho self-imagery, carnivorous bravado, porcine fundamentalism, boldfaced lies, and both culinary and social intransigence. This book will supply you with the elusive answers to three questions: "What is real barbecue?" "How do you find it?" and "What does it mean to be Southern?"

Interesting reading but, unfortunately no receipes. Rated it 3 Stars because it didn't have them...just ideas and basic facts.

What a marvelous storyteller Mr. Caldwell is! I have not finished reading his book, but am savoring each character he meets, each BBQ joint he describes and the food fixed the way it has always been. Caldwell takes a subject and follows every path it leads and you are drawn down the path happily.

The culinary and cultural attributes of Searching For The Dixie Barbecue make for an important and unusual blend of information on Southern cooking, culture, and redneck barbecue origins - but don't expect a recipe book alone. Searching For The Dixie Barbecue: Journeys Into The Southern Psyche pairs black and white photos of Southern barbecue establishments with plenty of travel and cultural background to provide a road journey through the contentious world of Dixie barbecue. The lively, folksy manner makes for a winner for any who love barbecue!
