Provincial?

Your book only covers Manhattan; what have been some of your most memorable non-Manhattan meat experiences from across the U.S. and around the globe?

For Europe, some of the places I listed in my "favorite meals" question stand out; for the rest of America, you'll have to wait for my next book, American Meat. There will be plenty of barbecue in it, but also tales of my visits to an Armenian goat roast in Cleveland; Kreuz market of Lockhart, TX, The birthplace of brisket; Jiggs Smoke House, makers of the perfect jerky; Stroud's chicken in Missouri; and Burgerfest, in Seymour WI, where they Build the World’s Largest Burger every couple of years. I have never

travelled to Asia, Africa, or South America -- although the latter seems like a natural for me and I have been planning a trip for several years.

There will be plenty of barbecue in it,

But of course, nothing from North Carolina.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Strouds is just weak.

And if you want proper goat, hie thee to the Dixie Barbeque outside of Athens, GA. Goat barbeque, two sides (and macaroni & cheese is a vegetable -- God said so) and sweet tea for $3.99 last time I was there. Which, of course, was more than 15 years ago. I'm sure nothing has changed.

Oh, NO!!! You don't really mean that, do you? Of course, it's been quite a few years since I was there. But I used to dream of that fried chicken.
