Event Details

The history of American barbecue begins with the founding of the country and the original pitmasters, who were enslaved. Debra Freeman, author and host of the critically acclaimed podcast Setting the Table, about African-American foodways, will explore the origins of American barbecue, the legacy of Black pitmasters throughout the centeuries, and how their contributions show up on our plates today.
