Barbecue: A Texas Love Story

by Anne Metz, Posted May 22nd 2006 @ 12:04PM

Just as there are many types of barbecue (Eastern North Carolina-style, Western North Carolina-style, Kansas City-style, and Memphis-style, to name just a few), so too are there many types of barbecue documentary.

In addition to Barbecue is a Noun, the documentary made by North-Carolinians-turned-NYC-filmmakers, there's also Barbecue: A Texas Love Story.

The title may have tipped you off, this film chronicles the Lone Star State's abiding love for barbecue, from the Great Texas Mosquito Festival to a small east Texas church that raises money through sales of its "Holy BBQ."

Believe it or not, the film is narrated by former governor Ann Richards, and it features prominent barbecue-loving Texans like Dan Rather and Kinky Friedman.

Hot barbecue. A hot cast. What's else is there?
