Restaurant, 1830 Asheville Highway in Hendersonville, NC. Visitors are
welcome. Dinner is at 5:30 pm, meeting starts at 6:30 pm. Tell the
cashier
you are with Apple Country so gratuity will be added. In October,
the General Meeting is likely to be moved to the third Tuesday to allow
us time to have the meeting before Fall Harvest Days. In December the
General meeting is moved to the first Saturday as a Christmas dinner.

Interesting Reading by local author:
Daughter
of ACAETA members Robert & Betty Delwiche - Elizabeth
Engelhardt -
Hendersonville High Class of 1988, and then college downstate - is
currently teaching at University of Texas, Austin.
Several BBQ
proprietors in Central Texas, in conjunction with the Southern Foodways
Alliance, were searching for a writer to do a book that would capture
their families' history. Elizabeth accepted the challenge. With a team
of 11 graduate students, they worked for over two years interviewing
and photographing the owners and employees of some 25 renowned haunts
in the middle of Texas - some spanning 3 or 4 generations - to produce
this 257 page book containing more than 100 full color photos.
Enjoy
this richly satisfying journey into the world of barbecue as food and
culture, filled with first-person stories from pit masters, barbecue
joint owners, sausage makers, and wood suppliers.
The book titled Republic
of Barbecue: Stories Beyond the Brisket,
was officially launched this month, and now available on Amazon.com,
and local book stores soon. Look for ISBN: 978-0-292-71998-9.
I
carry a copy in my truck; ask if you would like to take a look. You can
check www.republicofbarbecue.com,
or find them on facebook at Republic of Barbecue and on twitter
@RepublicofBBQ). For more information, call Bob Delwiche (828) 674-5575.
