Texas BBQ - Sweet, Smoky Memories

by Scott Jones

"Barbecue is serious business. I’ve always felt it was akin to the martial arts—whether it’s a shack in the Carolina’s or a city affair in Memphis or Kansas City, everyone’s convinced they’re practicing the purest form. And Texans are no exception. A fact which comes through loud and clear on every page of TEXAS BBQ by photographer Wyatt McSpadden."

Review: Texas BBQ

by Eric Devlin

"How good is 'Texas BBQ'? It’s good enough to make me regret my lack of a reasonable visual aesthetic and a master of photography nomenclature. If the old trope that a picture is worth a thousand words is accurate, than this book is a collection of some of the most eloquent essays I have ever had the pleasure of viewing."
