In the nineteenth century, barbeque played a prominent role in the campaign rallies of the states aspiring politicians. By the end of the century, barbecue joints started popping up near Birmingham’s steel mills. In the 1950's, pitmasters set up shop in roadside shacks to feed weary travelers venturing out on the nation’s new highways and interstates. In the 1960's, barbecue fed the Civil Rights Movement. Most recently, Alabama barbeque has adapted to foodie interest in heritage breeds and sustainability. Join author Mark A. Johnson, PhD, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, as he takes us on this delicious historical journey.
