My paean to Scott's Bar-B-Q near Hemingway, SC ran in the NYT today. 

Here's hoping my words pay appropriate homage to the intellect and ingenuity  required to cook honest bbq.

If you haven't read the Oxford American's Race Issue, now is the time
to pick up a newsstand copy.

Soon, the annual Best of the South issue will displace it. 

To snag a copy of the Race Issue -- with a brilliant essay by Lolis Elie as well as my meditation on barbecue and the white man's burden (or lack thereof) --  try here.

My latest "United Tastes" NYT piece ran this morning.

Truck Food romp last week in Philly. The scene was robust and a bit ragged. 

Pleasantly ragged.

Angie Mosier, who's shooting the pics for book, captured great stuff, including this shot, my old-school favorite.
