TxMo Hires Full-Time, Full Custom Barbecue Editor

Texas Monthly has hired its first ever full-time Barbecue Editor. The man with the dream job is Dallas-based barbecue aficionado Daniel Vaughn, the guy behind the Full Custom Gospel BBQ blog and Tony Bourdain's proclaimed "Yoda of Barbecue." Eater National has the scoop:

Vaughn will write stories on barbecue topics for Texas Monthly's websites, will manage and update the magazine's Top Fifty Barbecue list (which will get its massive, once-every-five-years update in June), and, perhaps most interestingly, will write weekly reviews of Texas-style barbecue both inside and outside of the state. (Look out, cheap imitators.) Or, as Vaughn tells Eater, "I want to cover the entire life-cycle of barbecue. Hell, I might even interview my pharmacist."
