The New Yorker’s food guy writes: “I felt like a People subscriber who had picked up the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ issue and discovered that the sexiest man alive was Sheldon Ludnick, an insurance adjuster from Terre Haute, Indiana, with Clooney as the runner-up.”

So he sets out for Snow’s with a posse from Texas Monthly, and delivers a terrific piece about barbecue and what a top ranking from a prestigious publication can do to a place.
