You may have recently seen us link to a few posts by barbecue historian Robert Moss on chicken mull in both Southern Living’s The Daily South and Serious Eats. Here, Zagat travels to Athens, GA to learn more about this mostly unknown barbecue dish.

You may recall Vice’s Munchies visiting Skylight Inn to showcase Sam Jones’ whole hog barbecue in a video we posted a few months back. In this one, they visit the Franklin Barbecue in Austin and interview various folks who endure the six-hour line, usually with beer in tow, all in the name of delicious barbecue.

Several members of the Grantland staff visited including Bill Simmons, Jalen Rose, and Joe House (the “House” in “House Eats”) eats brisket, sausage, pulled pork, and both beef and pork ribs at La Barbecue in Austin. Whereas previous videos in this series are more competition, this is a “celebration,” although it focuses more on House himself. In any case, there are several good shots of barbecue.

In case you missed the link in our 12/17 Linkdown, this is the trailer for “High on the Hog” and an additional video on the packing process. “High on the Hog” was a multi-part story of “the journey of silky pork from NC farms to the world’s biggest metropolis.” The whole feature is highly recommended if you are interested in better understanding eastern NC’s place in the global economy when it comes to pork.
