It became Mitchell’s Ribs, Chicken & B-B-Q. Mitchell is one of the nation's leading whole hog BBQ pitmasters and an inductee into the Barbeque Hall of Fame.” The family's story and recipes are documented in the book, “Ed Mitchell’s Barbeque” (2023, HarperCollins) written by Ed with his son, partner and pitmaster, Ryan Mitchell.
