BBQ in the Lone Star State

Nothing says Labor Day like BBQ. Kansas City, the Carolinas and Memphis have all got their own styles. 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.

Nothing says Labor Day like BBQ. Kansas City, the Carolinas and Memphis have all got their own styles. 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, clues us into why BBQ is eaten on Juneteenth and on how Upton Sinclair's The Jungle changed the lives of pit masters everywhere. A second edition of hisLegends of Texas Barbecue bible is available wherever books are sold.

Music: "Texas Flood" by Stevie Ray Vaughn
