From Muscle Shoals to Mobile, Alabamians enjoy fabulous barbecue at home, at club meetings and at countless eateries.

In the 1820s, however, a group of reformers wanted to eliminate the southern staple because politicians used it to entice voters. As the state and nation changed through wars and the civil rights movement, so did Alabama barbecue. Alabama restaurants like Big Bob Gibson's, Dreamland and Jim 'n Nick's have earned fans across the country. Mark A. Johnson traces the development of the state's famous food from the earliest settlement of the state to the rise of barbecue restaurants.

Reviews

"I imagine this subject was a godsend to research. Nobody can make barbecue better than Alabamians, and Mark R. Johnson, author and researcher, discovered wonders to behold, taste and enjoy. Of course, this is a history. Johnson's tantalizing discoveries will delight, astound, and perhaps even cause you to explore further as you taste your way around Alabama's innumerable fantastic barbecue restaurants." Decatur Daily

"The book is copiously illustrated with marvelous photographs, historical and contemporary (many of the latter in color). Theearlier ones are mostly of buildings and people, both often on the funky side, while the recent ones are mostly of food.Alabama Book Review
