A lot can happen on a CPC.
CPC is short for The College Point Class Conflict Pub Crawl.
And College Point is the isolated and strange little corner of Queens where I grew up. Eight years ago, I jokingly suggested starting a pub crawl through the neighborhood. Not only did the crawl happen, it somehow evolved into an annual social event.
Every September, East Somerville Main Streets holds a celebration of local cuisine, the Foodie Crawl. For this year's preview, we focus on two newcomers to the scene: La Brasa and Rincon Mexicano.
You get to towns like Bryan, Texas by driving long miles. You drive past grazing cattle. You drive past trees of oak and mesquite. You drive past the ingredients, what the barbecue is made of.
It may not be suitable for the cover, but the best quote about Craig Meek’s Memphis Barbecue: A Succulent History of Smoke Sauce and Soul came from the book’s release party.
