I have just re-read Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue by John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed (UNC Press, 2008), and I have to say it is better than I remembered. It might be that I'm craving a big plate from Lexington Barbecue or Stamey's, but this is a book that is entertaining, educational, and fun. If you are looking for a barbecue fix, or for something to read while you eat a big tray of chopped pork and red slaw (why you would be reading, I have no idea), this one's worth your time. Mama Dip's banana pudding recipe is worth the price of admission all by itself.
