Ed Mitchell's Barbeque

Ed Mitchell’s Barbeque: Time-Honored Techniques, Delicious Southern Flavors, and Family History by Ed Mitchell is both a masterclass in Eastern North Carolina whole-hog barbecue and a powerful chronicle of Black culinary legacy. Tracing 125 years of family tradition, Mitchell shares the fire-tended techniques, vinegar-kissed sauces, and community-rooted stories that shaped his craft. Deeply personal and richly instructive, this is barbecue as history, heritage, and living testimony.
