Gary Wiviott is the pit boss at Barn and Company, one of the best smoked meat houses in Chicago.

Colleen Rush is a bon vivant and noted scribe of the South.

The two have authored a pair of books devoted to teaching common folks how to up their barbecue game: Low and Slow and Low and Slow 2. These tomes are crucial if you’re trying to become an amateur pit boss or if you just want to improve your ability to transform raw hunks of animal flesh into luscious, silken entrees.

Y’all should come to their barbecue party at Octavia Books Sunday July 26th 2015 from 2-4pm.

Nibble on tri-tip sandwiches with chimichurri sauce + shrimp cocktail with smoked horseradish sauce, buy a book and have the pair of authors sign it for you.
