Twenty-One years ago I set out to learn the secrets of real barbecue, hoping to return someday to Richmond to sho w me friends just what world class BBQ is really about.
Cooking BBQ in Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Kansas City, Lexington, and Memphis. I have learned the BBQ secrets of many of the county's famous BBQ regions. I traveled and explored every highly touted BBQ joint I could find, sharing secrets with the old timers who were tending the pits and preparing secret family recipes , (many of which have been handed down along many generations).
It was one of my journeys that I ran across Ned at the crossroads connecting the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. Ned was producing the best BBQ I had ever tasted. Using recipes that had been handed down for over 150 years. That old timer was a county legend and there best kept secret. Before he gave up the ghost, Ned passed his secrets to me.
