New BBQ Mag coming out = "Popular Plates - BBQ"

[MilitantSquatter]

I have a friend who just e-mailed me the following regarding a new print BBQ magazine coming out :

Hi Vinny

I'm sure you don't get the Road Food EMail newsletter, so I thought I'd pass this along. Road Food is the brainchild of a married couple (the Sterns) who have been traveling all over the country writing up Diners, Drive-ins and Dives long before Guy Fieri even thought of the idea. BBQ is a big part of what they review and talk about, so they decided to start a BBQ magazine.

The first issue is just about to come out and here's the squib on it:

Our barbecue magazine is out! Aptly titled BBQ, it is printed on beautiful glossy stock and is loaded with pictures, reviews and recipes for travelers and pit-cooked meat lovers everywhere. It contains no advertising, just lots and lots of barbecue! You can check out some samples of it at www.popularplates.com or order the magazine at www.circsource.com/store/Subscribe.html?offerId=3950&sourceCode=I0GBNN. It is the first of a series of single-topic issues we will be doing, and if you like what you see, you can order a year's subscription (4 issues).

Issue - $9.95
One year : $39.95 (4 issues)


Thought you'd be interested.

See you next week.

Thanks for the information Vinny!
Diners, Drive Inns and Dives is my favorite food show!

I just purchased the magazine from our grocery store rack and let me tell you it's good. Very high quality print and fantastic photos and recipes. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the information Vinny!

My favorite food show as well. Guy Fiera is a hoot. I don't know why he doesn't weigh 350.

Thanks, just ordered the BBQ issue.

And on the topic of Triple D, it is my favourite Food Network show as well.

That's MONEY Right There!

The mag looks great, but I think it's odd that it costs more to get the 1 year subscription than to just buy the magazines. Usually, a subscription means you get something of a price break, not a $.15 premium added.

Yeah, that was strange. I think I'm going to see if I can find a copy locally and decide if I like it then subscribe to make sure I get more. I like that it's only 4 issues, that way they can take their time to make sure they put together something worth reading, rather than rushing to put out monthly or even bi-monthly issues filled with ads and boilerplate.

maybe that's what RTD has been up to,,,,

I'll swing by books-a-million on the way home and see if they have a copy.

 

[Plowboy]

It is like the road map to Flavor Town.

 

[Shiz-Nit]

Thanks... just orded mine

 

[Skidder]

They had it at Wally World the other day too.

 

[SmokinAussie]

Looks grate (sic).. But shouldn't it be called "Popular Grates"? C'mon, think people!

Cheers!

I'll wait to see if they can do a whole year of issues first...no need to get burned again on the whole BBQ magazine deal! LOL!!

 

[Sledneck]

seems a bit pricey. Bet you can get all of that plus alot more right here

 

[NeoTrout]

It is the first of a series of single-topic issues we will be doing, and if you like what you see, you can order a year's subscription (4 issues).

I don't think its a BBQ magazine. Just this issue is devoted to BBQ. I'm still gonna look for it.

 

[Skidder]

Yeah I don't know the format but the bbq issue is real good. And yes you can get any and all info her or on the web but if your looking for a good bbq mab/issue this one is it. I just hope they keep it up.
