About the pitmaster

Tennessee is where it started.

The fire, the patience and the belief that feeding people properly is worth the time.

Reggie, pitmaster and owner

BBQ that tastes the way it does because it takes time.

I grew up in Tennessee around real Southern BBQ. It taught me that proper BBQ takes patience, judgement and respect for the fire. It cannot be rushed.

Southern hospitality matters just as much as what comes off the pit. People should feel looked after, from the first conversation to the last plate.

That is the standard behind YDU: clear communication, genuine care and BBQ I am proud to put my name on.
