Kansas City, the Carolinas and Memphis have all got their own styles of barbecue. Then there's Texas. The Lone Star State has at least four kinds of 'Q all by itself, says Robb Walsh, three-time James Beard Award-winner and member of Foodways Texas. He breaks down the styles for us, and clues us into why BBQ is eaten on Juneteenth and how Upton Sinclair's The Jungle changed the lives of pit masters everywhere. A second edition of his Legends of Texas Barbecue bible is available wherever books are sold.
