Texas Magazine appoints first barbeque editor. From the New York Times:
On Thursday, Mr. Vaughn became a walking milestone in the history of Texas barbecue when Texas Monthly announced that it had hired him to be its first barbecue editor, a position that exists at no other magazine in America. National barbecue experts said Mr. Vaughn would be the only full-time barbecue critic on
the staff of a major newspaper or magazine. He will be part of Texas Monthly's ever-expanding barbecue franchise -- the magazine has its own dedicated barbecue Web site, a barbecue finder app for cellphones and a once-every-five-years behemoth issue that lists the state's top 50 barbecue joints. It holds the annual BBQ Festival in Austin, which last year drew a crowd of 3,000.
