K-Town Pit Que Heads to Richmond, VA!
Thanksgiving is all about gathering with family, sharing gratitude, and of course, indulging in incredible food. This year, the K-Town Pit Que crew took the holiday spirit up a notch with a weekend full of BBQ adventures in Richmond, VA!
A Smokin’ Start to the Holiday
The weekend kicked off with the Pitmaster doing what they do best—firing up the smoker for a Thanksgiving feast to remember. A perfectly smoked turkey stole the show, even converting the most skeptical turkey lovers. But that wasn’t all! A succulent, slow-smoked brisket made its way to the table and was met with rave reviews.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the incredible work year after year by my mother-in-law, who goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a Thanksgiving to remember. Her dedication to creating an inviting, warm, and enjoyable weekend for the whole family is unmatched. This year, I was deeply honored to (finally!) be given the privilege of cooking in the same kitchen as such a loving and caring chef. Watching her bring the family together with her thoughtful planning and tireless effort has always been inspiring, and sharing that space to contribute my BBQ touch was a true blessing.
A Family Affair
Saturday turned into an all-hands-on-deck BBQ extravaganza, and what made it truly special was how the whole family came together. The warmth, support, and excitement from everyone involved made this weekend unforgettable.
Our brother and sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and of course, the honorary BBQ crew of Jonah the Ribeye Knight, Micah the Brisket Warrior, and Kim the Dessert Queen brought their A-game. From butchering meats and mixing injections to crafting the perfect sauce, every family member played a vital role. Their participation wasn’t just practical; it was deeply meaningful. And despite an early (and possibly hung over) start the cook was one for the ages.
Without their encouragement and teamwork, the Pitmaster(s) wouldn’t have been able to accomplish such a monumental feast. This family effort didn’t just create fantastic BBQ; it strengthened bonds and reminded us why we do what we do.
Even the pickiest eaters and vegetarians joined in the fun, proving that BBQ isn’t just about meat—it’s about the joy of coming together to create something delicious and memorable.
The Heart of BBQ
This weekend reminded us of what BBQ is truly about: bringing people together. It’s not just about the food—though it was undeniably incredible—it’s about the memories made along the way. The joy of sharing a task, experimenting with flavors, and seeing the smiles as the final product is shared is the essence of BBQ.
Thanksgiving 2024 may have passed, but the memories made in Richmond will last for years to come. From the smoky turkey to the saucy ribs, this weekend was a celebration of food, family, and love—the pillars of the K-Town Pit Que philosophy.
So, here’s to good food, good company, and good times. Until next time, keep the coals hot and the family close!
