HOLY SMOKES LOWCOUNTRY
BARBECUE FESTIVAL
ANNOUNCES FULL LIST OF
PARTICIPATING PITMASTERS
Benefiting Hogs for the Cause
CHARLESTON, SC 7.20.21 — This November, the inaugural Holy Smokes Lowcountry Barbecue Festival is bringing together an unpar- alleled line-up of pitmasters from across the country for a culinary event that will have your mouth watering in anticipation. The festi- val’s hosts—Aaron Siegel and Taylor Garrigan of Home Team BBQ, Anthony DiBernardo of Swig & Swine, and Robert F. Moss, the Contributing Barbecue Editor for Southern Living—created the festival to celebrate the culture, history, and traditions that these lead- ers of the barbecue community represent. In the spirit of celebration, the event is not a competition but a chance for attendees to sam- ple an incredible range of American barbecue from two dozen renowned pitmasters like Sam Jones, Chris Lilly, Rodney Scott, Jonathan & Justin Fox, Pat Martin, and John Lewis. See the full list of 2021 Holy Smokes pitmasters below.
A ticket to Holy Smokes Lowcountry Barbecue Festi- val gives you all-you-can-eat access to three barbe- cue villages. In the first you will taste whole hog barbecue prepared by a team of legendary pitmasters, including Sam Jones and Rodney Scott, who are known for their traditional all wood, direct heat style. In the next village, pitmasters like Leo Botello of Truth BBQ, Matt Horn of Horn Barbecue, and John Lewis of Lewis BBQ will be smoking up an array of beef ribs, brisket, and other Texas-style specialties. The third village will feature new school barbecue, and cooks like Southern Soul chef Harrison Sapp, Jonathan & Justin Fox of Fox Bros, and the Home Team BBQ crew led by Aaron Siegel and Taylor Garri- gan will get creative as they incorporate slow-smoked meats into a parade of innovative dishes.
Don’t miss out on this unique chance to taste world- class barbecue from an all-star line-up. Presale tick- ets will go live at the end of August. Head to www.holysmokeschs.com to receive an alert email when tickets are available for purchase.
