Wes Berry is an English professor at WKU who is “passionate about real tasty things.” His passion for mouth-watering food stems from his time spent with his Uncle Roy, who cooked meats for Berry during chore time, and it led him to travel the United States in search of the different styles of preparing, BBQing, and eating BBQ. His travels resulted in a book published in 2013 titled KY BBQ. Now, Berry BBQs a variety meats on his smoker at his Bowling Green farmstead.
