Peace, Love and Barbecue is about the people, the stories and the recipes behind some of the world's greatest barbecue, coming from World Champion barbecuer Mike Mills. In addition to supervising the pits at several nationally-known restaurants, Mills is the only person ever to win the title of Grand World Champion at Memphis in May, which is quite possibly the biggest barbecue event on the competition circuit.
The book, in addition to serving up some mouthwateringly good barbecue, is laugh-out-loud funny. There are lots of photos and accounts of bbq-related travels, including competitions and stopping in at local joints along the way, which makes the book a great read for roadfoodies, those interested in getting a behind-the-scenes look at bbq and aspiring pit masters alike.
