Barbecuing conjures up thoughts of languid, weekend afternoons, surrounded by friends and family, enjoying the day awaiting a meal that¡¯s tasty, tangy and, if done right, downright messy. However, there lurks a more intense world of barbecuers¡ªteams of men and women with names like Natural Born Grillers, Barefoot in the Pork and Grills Gone Wild who have turned backyard barbecuing into a competitive sport. In THE GRILL OF VICTORY , Bill Brohaugh provides a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the passionate pork enthusiasts that people these events, including the Superbowl of Swine, the Memphis in May barbecue competition. Brohaugh, a BBQ judge for more than fifteen years on the Memphis In May circuit, evokes the whole sensory experience--the smell of meat slow-cooking for hours, the sight of smoke rising from the pit or grill, and, ultimately, the smoky, spicy taste of the "¡¯cue" itself. He also regales readers with tales of the personalities and characters who cook 'cue competitively, with scraps of travelogue, food history, and barbecue tall tales served on the side.
