Fourteen hours of slow smoke. A crust of black pepper and salt. The sacred alchemy of a Texas brisket. Barbecue here transcends the backyard grill to become a regional religion with fiercely defended doctrines. We journey through the four great schools of smoke, exploring the patient craft of the pitmaster and the vinegar-sharp tang of Carolina pulled pork.
