The untold history of American BBQ, and where you can still taste it
- American barbecue has a history that stretches back hundreds of years, beginning with Indigenous peoples who prepared meat by cooking it slowly in pits dug into the ground and supported by wooden structures.
- This tradition expanded through African American pitmasters refining techniques and shaping regional flavors, often without receiving credit.
- During the Great Migration, African American families brought Southern barbecue methods north, where urban smokehouses created dishes like brisket, burnt ends, and rib tips with rich sauces.
- Notable establishments such as Arthur Bryant's, Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, and Lexington Barbecue have preserved distinct styles since the early 20th century, with Big Bob Gibson’s 1925 introduction of Alabama's white sauce.
- Barbecue serves as a powerful testament to America’s past, embodying the spirit of community, resilience, and cultural heritage, and is currently enjoying renewed popularity nationwide.
