Chronicle restaurant reviewer Alison Cook writes that the reason she has such high hopes for this month's Houston Barbecue Festival is the trust she has in organizers J.C. Reid and Michael Fulmer. "Talking to Reid and Fulmer, it's clear that for them, this festival is a labor of love rather than entrepreneurship. They're not in it for a quick buck. They're focused on building a barbecue community in Houston, and on celebrating the talent of our local pitmasters." [29-95]
