When people praise my bbq I always say "well, no one has spent more time sitting on the pot reading about bbq than me". I got my copy of Manifesto in the mail on Thursday and finished it tonight. Holy cow, what a great book. I've often wondered why Franklin BBQ is so popular and I've decided it is the force of Aaron's personality. I'm sure that his food is as good as any out there but that doesn't explain his success. I read MM's book and it just made me not like the guy. About the book: I've been waiting for a book that doesn't offer tons of recipes but rather talks philosophically about bbq. I love the history he gave of his trailer and restaurant and the behind the scenes look at the restaurant. I was surprised at how honest he was about products and people. This is easily the best food related book I have ever read!
