Moe’s Original BBQ is honored to have been featured in Mark A. Johnson’s book showcasing the history of Alabama barbecue.

From Muscle Shoals to Mobile, Alabamians enjoy fabulous barbecue at home, at club meetings and at countless eateries. In the 1820s, however, a group of reformers wanted to eliminate the southern staple because politicians used it to entice voters. As the state and nation changed through wars and the civil rights movements, so did Alabama barbecue. Mark A. Johnson traces the development of the state’s famous food from the earliest settlement of the state to the rise of barbecue restaurants.
