Memphis is equal parts music and food--the products of a community
marked with grit and resiliency. The city's blues and soul music
have lifted spirits, while barbecue has been a serious business
ever since pork first entered the culinary landscape of Memphis
with Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who brought the New World
its first herd of pigs. Succulent pulled pork and ribs have become
part of the fabric of life in the River City, and today they are
cooked up in kitchens ranging from the internationally acclaimed,
like Corky's, to the humblest of roadside dives. Told through the
history of its barbecue is the story of the city of Memphis, from
legendary joints like Leonard's Barbecue, where Elvis Presley
hosted private parties, to lesser-known places like William's
Bar-B-Q in the West Memphis, Arkansas neighborhood where wild,
late-night blues juke joints served as a red-light district across
the river from Beale Street in the 1950s and '60s. Sink your teeth
into this rich history chock-full of interviews and insights from
the city's finest pitmasters and 'cue gurus who continue the long
tradition of creating art with meat and flame.

book... I have to be honest, I was more interested in the eating
than the walking because when we last went to Kefalonia the food
was pretty average... We went to a lot of the featured restaurants
and they were all fantastic. We even ended up doing some of the
walks. (SC, Amazon) I spent a week on Kefalonia with this book and
I have no idea what I should have done without it. The walks are
easy and can be done by everyone. After the walk the selection of
places to eat seemed superb to me. (HH, Amazon)

Where would we be without the traditional London caff?
Milk bars, ice-cream parlours and espresso bars are all a
feature of the London landscape that were borne out of the 1940s to
1960s. It is a time when floods of immigrants set up their
businesses providing frothy coffee to the city's workers.
Today, many of these establishments still function as caffs and
have their original elaborate and shiny machines that continue to
dispense no end of steam and cups of tea, and still feature vinyl
and tiled floors and walls.
This book provides an affectionate look at one of London's
endangered species', featuring 28 caffs throughout the capital.
Each example is accompanied by anecdotal captions which evoke the
atmosphere and context of each place, as well as addresses and
nearest tube stations, so that anyone wanting a fix of old-style
London can go and find it.

part travelogue, this book is a collection of these tales with the
