In this, our year of barbecue, we share with you two upcoming Mississippi events featuring barbecue maven Adam Perry Lang. Lang's new book, CHARRED AND SCRUFFED, is hot off the—yes, the grill.

Turnrow Book Co. hosts a special Mississippi cookout with Adam Perry Lang at Tallahatchie Flats outside Greenwood on Friday, June 8, at 5 p.m.

Lang will demonstrate advanced techniques from his new book. Sampling plates for $10 will include Clinched Strip Steak, Bubbling Bacon Butter Beans, and Crispy Moonshine Onion Rings. Call Turnrow Books (662-453-5995) for more details.

On June 16, Lang takes a turn as guest chef at Oxford's City Grocery.
