Rating: Summary: Absolutely Fascinating Review: I am French, so the barbecue pits of Texas is like another world to me. I loved reading about the adventures of Richard and Willie Joe as they ventured through the Texan plains in their quest for the perfect barbecue. Although this book is considered a restaurant guide, it is really so much more! It is a story of an adventure and devotion, throwing caution to the wind and seeking the perfect object of one's love--barbecue. Those living in or thinking of visiting Texas will certainly find this guide useful. But readers like me will still enjoy, even through a book, the travels experienced while in search of the best barbecue in Texas!

Rating: Summary: Out of touch Review: The author of this book obviously doesn't know much about barbeque, or much about beans either. It is amazing how he gives high marks to some places, like chain barbeques, that have very substandard fare, and doesn't even mention real barbeque places with good food right down the road from them. The reviews of barbeque joints in this book are not to be trusted by serious barbeque lovers.

Rating: Summary: Out of touch Review: You must question the taste of someone who thinks Bill Miller and Luther's(the McDonald's of BBQ) sell great food. He clearly has a preference for aseptic chain restaurants. In the words of the late, great Stubb; "rats and roaches are God's creatures, too." I guess that is why Stubb's wasn't even reviewed. If you want good Texas barbeque, you can't go to the place with the highest Health Dept. rating. You also don't go someplace because they have good tea.
