<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>From Muscle Shoals to Mobile, Alabamians enjoy fabulous barbecue at home, at club meetings and at countless eateries.</b></p><br><p>In the 1820s, however, a group of reformers wanted to eliminate the southern staple because politicians used it to entice voters. As the state and nation changed through wars and the civil rights movement, so did Alabama barbecue. Alabama restaurants like Big Bob Gibson's, Dreamland and Jim 'n Nick's have earned fans across the country. Mark A. Johnson traces the development of the state's famous food from the earliest settlement of the state to the rise of barbecue restaurants.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> """The book is copiously illustrated with marvelous photographs, historical and contemporary (many of the latter in color). The <p/>earlier ones are mostly of buildings and people, both often on the funky side, while the recent ones are mostly of food.<i>Alabama Book Review</i>" </br></br>"Johnson is legion in his storytelling. We delight to know who Big BobGibson was, and how he started from his backyard on the Old DanvilleRoad near Decatur. Archibald's began from a humble storefront inNorthport, and now serves their famous pork and ribs in the wholeTuscaloosa area. Bob Syke's in Bessemer does so well they support acenter for abused children." - The Decatur Daily </br></br>"With profiles of institutions such as Big Bob Gibson's, Dreamland, Jim 'n' Nick's and of course Moe's Original, the older readers can travel down memory lane as they gaze upon the black and white photos in this paperback, while the younger scholars get a history lesson and enjoy a recipe or two." - Lagniappe Weekly </br></br>"I imagine this subject was a godsend to research. Nobody can make barbecue better than Alabamians, and Mark R. Johnson, author and researcher, discovered wonders to behold, taste and enjoy. Of course, this is a history. Johnson's tantalizing discoveries will delight, astound, and perhaps even cause you to explore further as you taste your way around Alabama's innumerable fantastic barbecue restaurants." <i> Decatur Daily </i>
