Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book: Recipes and Secrets from a Legendary Barbecue Joint

Book Description
Winners of the World Championship BBQ Cook-Off for six years in a row and with hundreds of other contest ribbons as well, nobody does barbecue better than Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama. Chris Lilly, executive chef of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q and great-grandson-in-law of Big Bob himself, now passes on the family secrets in this quintessential guide to barbecue. From dry rubs to glazes and from sauces to slathers, Lilly gives the lowdown on Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q’s award-winning seasonings and combinations. You’ll learn the unique flavors of different woods and you’ll get insider tips on creating the right heat—be it in a charcoal grill, home oven, or backyard ground pit. Then, get the scoop on pulled pork, smoked beef brisket, pit-fired poultry, and, of course, ribs. Complete the feast with sides like red-skin potato salad and black-eyed peas. And surely you’ll want to save room for Lilly’s dessert recipes, such as Big Mama’s Pound Cake. Loaded with succulent photographs, easy-to-follow instructions, and colorful stories, Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book honors the legacy of Big Bob Gibson—and of great barbeque. From Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book: White Sauce People raised in Decatur, Alabama, know that barbecue sauce is supposed to be white. For more than eighty years, Big Bob Gibson’s has been dunking its golden-brown birds, fifty at a time, into a vat of this tangy, peppery white sauce. The steaming, glistening chickens are then cut to order for our customers. For years and years the restaurant’s early-morning cooks closely guarded the white sauce recipe, which was made each day

Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book: Recipes and Secrets from a Legendary Barbecue Joint Reviews

Review by J. Fulton:
This book contains a variety of recipes along with ample history of Big Bob Gibson’s barbecue.

At present, I have tried from the book:

(1) the pork shoulder recipe, served with the Memphis style sauce

(2) the whole butterflied chicken, served with Bob Gibson’s famous white sauce.

Both were outstanding and each was easily worth the price of the entire book, particularly the white sauce-WOW.

both followed classic barbecue techniques and did not require excessive preparation or a half dozen steps.

In addition to covering the most common types of barbecue, the book also includes side dishes, an occassional dessert, and a variety of sauces–most derived from something done at Big Bob Gibson’s or by Chris Lilly in competition.

There are lots of great barbeque books out there, what this book brings is (1) recipes that have routinely won awards at barbecue competitions-lots of awards, (2) some unique Bob Gibson sauces that are terrific (3) a enjoyable history of the man and the restaurant.

I look forward to trying more recipes in the future.

NOTE: I tried these on the big green egg, which is well suited for long cooking sessions. Even though the book does not address ceramic cookers, the recipes are not equipment specific. But the obviously amazing results possible (and amply described) with a true barbecue pit and 100% hickory make it clear there is another level of barbecue out there.

Review by Renaissance Consumer:
Chris Lilly is one of the best BBQ chefs in the country. However, I am disappointed with his efforts here. This book is true to the title. Most pages are about the history of Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ joint. Lots of pictures. This part is interesting, but not helpful to someone who wants to cook. The recipes are some basics and some off-the-chart stuff with unusual ingredients. He doesn’t disclose a lot of Gibson’s recipes, but gives something close. He has 4 or 5 recipes for a whole hog, but nothing (or very little coverage) for some basics like a beef chuck shoulder and other cuts. He assumes you will BBQ indirectly on a Weber kettle. All in all, this is not a basic book. His coverage of rubs is great, but doesn’t teach anything about other essential topics. After you’ve mastered BBQ smoking, get this for historical interest.

America’s Best BBQ: 100 Recipes from America’s Best Smokehouses, Pits, Shacks, Rib Joints, Roadhouses, and Restaurants Reviews

Review by John Dawson:
It’s not often that I find a cookbook that is actually fun to read. They are usually very utilitarian, with little literary meat on the bones. This is clearly not the case with America’s Best BBQ. I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the authentic and varied recipes, or the barbecue stories and lore that they are steeped in.

While the book is historical, it also has an incredible variety of recipes. It includes everything from starters like Volcanic Goat Cheese, Rocky Mountain Oysters, and Fried Cheese Stick Grits, to Burgoo, to mutton ribs, and all the barbecue standards in between. The range of recipes is excellent. Even better, most of the recipes are from the originators themselves.

I found the following statement from the introduction very interesting.

“Each joint in this book is, in our view, one of the best in America. They are all on the same playing field, with varying strengths and weaknesses. That aside, we have each named our Top Ten joints in the back of the book.”

Barbecue is very competitive and often chock full of ego, as is the restaurant industry generally. It’s very refreshing to see the authors give their honest opinions about what they feel are the best.

If you love barbecue, its history, and great recipes, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Review by Spudman:
To call this book a cookbook would be like equating Ted Williams with all other baseball players. America’s Best BBQ contains recipes collected by the authors in their travels and networking. The book itself is more like a piece of Americana, a glimpse of a subculture that most of us only know superficially.

Davis and Kirk not only share some incredible recipes, but also introduce us to fascinating people and interesting places the reader might want to visit in his or her travels.

I really like the design and look of the book. It takes on its own ambience as one of the barbecue joints within might. There’s plenty here to whet the reader’s appetite and sate his curiosity. Open to any page and find classic neon, well-worn signs, incredibly vivid food photographs, simulated spots of BBQ sauce, brown paper, and more pig icons than you’ve ever seen in one place.

Like barbecue cooking, this book is meant to be enjoyed slowly so that one can taste all of the flavors proferred by the authors.

At the end of the book is a lengthy discourse detailing the pros and cons of gas vs. charcoal grilling with a tableful of tips for both schools of cooking. This section is so informative that I read it twice.

America’s Best BBQ is obviously a work of love by the authors, a down home friendly book. I don’t have interest in trying rattlesnake meat or bull testicles, but within the covers there’s probably something of interest for most readers.

Rotisserie & BBQ Recipe Collection Reviews

Review by Daniel F. Moore:
O.K. who hasn’t seen the infomercial for Ron Popeil’s Showtime Rotisserie & Barbeque? We all know how to roast a whole chicken, a prime rib roast, ribs and various sizes of turkey, depending on your model. The Showtime rotisserie has been hugely successful and is found in many American homes.But let’s face it, whole chickens can be boring and who can afford to roast prime rib more than a few times yearly? Anticipating this, Ron Popeil has offered us this book as a companion to his product. I found the book on the ronco.com website and was a little hesitant as the price tag was steep for a paperback. However, if the rotisserie has changed the way you cook, this book will change the way you use the rotisserie.There are sections for sauces, marinades and rubs. These alone will allow you to vary your meals and experiment with new flavors. The book covers appetizers, various meats and seafood, vegetables and desserts. Even chapters using the rotisserie to create salads and wraps are included to broaden your use of the Showtime. Many of the recipes incorporate the sauces, marinades and rub recipes, which are easily prepared with readily available ingredients.If you love your Showtime rotisserie, then this will be a welcome addition. The book takes ‘Set It and Forget It’ to a new level of flavor and variety.

Review by Marianne Ernhart:
This recipe collection is loaded with goodies. It not only complements the “Set it and Forget it” rotisserie (I have the compact model), but has recipes useful to everyone. As a recipe writer and chief cook and bottle cleaner in our household I appreciate the amount of time and expertise required to put this book together. I also appreciate Amazon’s part in marketing books at a price anyone can afford. Amazon also makes it as easy as a few clicks to complete a purchase – Frank
