Description

North Carolina is home to the longest continuous barbecue tradition at the North American mainland. Authoritative, spirited, and opinionated (in one of the simplest ways), Holy Smoke is a passionate exploration of the lore, recipes, traditions, and those that have contributed to shaping North Carolina’s signature slow-food dish.

Three barbecue devotees, John Shelton Reed, Dale Volberg Reed, and William McKinney, trace the origins of North Carolina ‘cue and the emergence of the heated rivalry between Eastern and Piedmont styles. They provide detailed instructions for cooking barbecue at home, along side recipes for the traditional array of side dishes that are supposed to accompany it. The final section of the book presents probably the most individuals who cook barbecue for a living, recording firsthand what experts say about the past and future of North Carolina barbecue.

Filled with historic and up to date photographs showing centuries of North Carolina’s “barbeculture,” as the authors call it, Holy Smoke is one among a kind, offering a comprehensive exploration of the Tar Heel barbecue tradition.
