What’s more American than barbecue? To celebrate LBJ’s new exhibit “The American Experiment,” the library hosts self-proclaimed “soul food scholar” (and James Beard Award-winning author, certified barbecue judge, and former White House special assistant) Adrian Miller for a conversation with Texas Monthly Barbecue Editor Daniel Vaughn about the origins of the beloved Southern cuisine (surprise: it has Black roots), as well as a presentation honoring the late Walter Jetton, President Johnson’s pitmaster of choice and 2025 inductee into the American Royal Barbecue Hall of Fame. Come for the tasty topic; stay for the history lesson. – Carys Anderson
