What is the Pit Que?
The name "Pit Que" is more than just a clever play on words—it’s a nod to both the history of Kensington, MD, and the spirit of BBQ. Kensington’s rich automotive history, with its legacy of service stations and racing enthusiasts, is where the idea of the “Pit Que” takes root. Just like a pit crew works together to keep a race car running at peak performance, we see our community as the pit crew behind the success of every great BBQ experience.
In the world of racing, the pit crew is essential. They’re the behind-the-scenes team that ensures everything runs smoothly—fast, efficient, and with expert precision. At K-town Pit Que, we take that same collaborative spirit and bring it to the world of BBQ. The “pit” is where the magic happens in BBQ, where slow-cooked meats and smoky flavors come together. And “Que” is a proud part of the word barbeque, representing the delicious results of time-honored cooking methods.
By blending the ideas of a racing pit crew and a BBQ pit, K-town Pit Que is all about teamwork, expertise, and precision. We’re here to help our community master the art of BBQ, just like a pit crew helps a team cross the finish line. Whether you’re smoking ribs, chicken or pork, we’re your go-to support system to make sure everything turns out just right—every time.
So, whether you’re in the pit at a racetrack or the BBQ pit in your backyard, K-town Pit Que is here to help you fire up the grill and get cooking with confidence!
