## Summary

Barbecue is the slowest cooking. It is also the most American — not because the technique is American (it isn't) but because the four big regional traditions resolved themselves on this continent, in the last 180 years, into something specific and contested. Key sections include: BARBE CUE.; Opening Why barbecue.; Chapter I What barbecue is.; Chapter II Texas.; Chapter III The Carolinas.; Chapter IV Memphis.; Chapter V Kansas City.; Chapter VI What smoke is.; Chapter VII The pit.; Chapter VIII The cuts..
