Episode 3: Sam Jones

In our newest episode, award-winning pit master Sam Jones tells David Ellner all about the roots of his North Carolina BBQ. Jones's grandfather opened the Skylight Inn as a 17-year-old barbecue lover back in 1947—and the Jones family has never stopped making pork, slaw, and cornbread since. But Jones didn't always love the idea of following the family business of making whole-hog barbecue. Hear about his journey back home, and when he first realized that barbecue wasn't just a job: it was a passion ingrained inside him from the start. Plus: The story of how Jones's "Fatback Collective" first got started. You can find some of Sam Jones's most iconic barbecue recipes by downloading the Panna app, or heading over to
