Field Notes

Reading a BBQ menu: four styles in one minute

Texas leans on beef, especially brisket, with salt-and-pepper rubs and post oak smoke. Carolina is pork, either whole hog or shoulder, finished with a vinegar-forward sauce. Memphis is known for ribs, served dry-rubbed or wet. Kansas City is the sweet, tomato-based sauce style and the home of burnt ends. Many New England smokehouses blend these, so the menu usually tells you where the pitmaster's heart is.

How to chase a food truck

Trucks move, so follow them on social media before you drive, and arrive early since popular items sell out. Bring cash as a backup, and check weather, because many trucks skip rainy days. Brewery parking lots, farmers markets and town events are common stops.

A South Coast road trip idea

Pair Dartmouth, Massachusetts with Newport, Rhode Island for a smoke-and-sea weekend. Start with lunch at one, walk the waterfront, and finish dinner at the other. Both appear in our directory, so check hours before you set out.
