Ed Mitchell's Barbeque by Ed and Ryan Mitchell

A celebration of the history and tradition of whole hog barbeque from the most famous pitmaster in North Carolina. Mitchell draws on astonishing, little-known archives to explore the tradition of barbeque among the Black community in North Carolina, from its origins among African-American plantation sharecroppers and, before that, enslaved people. These are largely unwritten chapters of barbeque's story told by someone who has had an important part in keeping these narratives and traditions alive.
