01 - The Pit

The bark

Pork shoulder, brisket and ribs over hardwood, started before sunrise and pulled when the crust says so. Nothing leaves the pit early because the line got long.

02 - The Fryer

The batter

Hand-dipped corn dogs, funnel cakes and anything else that belongs in hot oil. Made when you order it, handed over still too hot to hold.
