Mikeska Family featured in "legends of Texas Barbecue" Book

Robb Walsh has written a great book about the "Legends of Texas Barbecue".

One of the first pictures in this book is a two-page spread featuring the Mikeska Brothers. He talks about the "Far Flung Barbecue Dynasty" that the Mikeska Family created in 4 separate areas in Texas

The June issue of "Texas Highways" also features this picture and a brief description of Mr. Walsh's wonderful collection of recipes and stories in his book.

Jerry, Maurice, Rudy and Clem Mikeska in the mid 1980's

On behalf of my family, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Walsh for his excellent book on a topic very close to our hearts....... Tim Mikeska

The Chambers of Commerce in the "Bar-B-Q Belt" of Central Texas created a brochure about "Texas' Great BBQ legends"

Rudy Mikeska's Is featured in this brochure

Thanks to all of our great friends......
