#298: The History of BBQ and Becoming a Backyard Pitmaster

The Art of Manliness

My guest today is Matt Moore, and we talk about his new book, "The South's Best Butts."
Today on the show Matt details the history of BBQ and why pork is a staple in the Southern variety. He then explains what exactly a pork butt is (and no, it’s not the rear of a pig), and why it's such an ideal meat for smoking. Matt then shares how and why BBQ flavors and techniques differ across the South and highlights a few pitmasters who are adding new takes to this traditional dish. We end our conversation by going through the step-by-step process of smoking the perfect pork butt.
