Yes, this is the pit. This is the hole in the ground where enslaved Africans gathered to keep themselves hole grasping tightly to the roots of their heritage through food, This is the warmth of souls laid bare. This is where barbecue was made a new where black pit masters brought the sauce to their sunday dinners and even the toughest meets could be made tender. This is the pits and its spirit and traditions were carried to every farm, every yard, every block, every joint in every city. No storefronts needed to serve the appetite of the community. Just feeding family and friends and feasting on word of mountain here I was loaded over there at this pit side, hustles got serious. Black businesses built neighbourhoods gathered. And as the modern story of barbecue only grows, remember all the black pit masters who helped write it? Oh baby, you're so cute! So as we stoke the embers of barbecue history, we invite the next generation of entrepreneurs to blaze their own trail because it's only by investing in the future that will preserve the past, that we preserve the pig. Yeah.
