Don't miss this very good (and very long) interview with Wayne Mueller of Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, TX. He talks about everything: his grandfather's legacy, his apprenticeship program, and the skills it takes (botany, meteorology, and becoming a "human thermostat"). On how there's always something to learn: "As much as people want to call themselves pit masters, really what they are is a pit student... Once you start believing you know everything there is to know, you've already locked out any new information, any new potential education." [Eater Austin]
