Gelin documented a variety of barbecue restaurants and the proprietors who keep the tradition going. Through extensive black-and-white and color images, paired with contextual information, the author takes the visitor on a remarkable visual journey through the heart of barbecue country.
Photos in the exhibit include those of Memphis landmark Payne's Bar-B-Q. Gelin sampled the legendary food at Payne's Bar-B-Q, where the sandwiches have been described as "10 degrees above Heaven."
