I did start Pit Pirate BBQ this year

Hey guys just to catch up a little I did start that BBQ company I was talking about before. It's called Pit Pirate BBQ, LLC and I have [2] partners and own 60% of the business. We are just getting all the legal stuff done but I am already booking BBQ gigs left and right. In fact I booked on in June for a Wash. DC Marina for over 350 people! Wow a $9,000.00 contract. Woohoo! To put that into perspective I'll be cooking over 120 racks of ribs and 400 pieces of chicken. lol

Here is our New Logo.

We have [3] Custom Pits like this on order and should take delivery of [2] of them in a couple weeks.

Personal Note: My son Elijah is almost 3/4 of the way through his Chemo from his cancer coming back. We shaved heads together at the beginning and I am keeping mine shaved till we get through this all. He is a little beat up but hanging in there. He's still going to classes full time through this all down at VCU.

Congratulations and good luck on your new business venture. Judging by your BBQ pics, you should have no trouble satisfying the masses.

Your son is a strong person for his perseverance, and I wish him a speedy and full recovery. God bless!

Good to hear Elijah is staying strong and pulling through.


Good job with the business! Awesome logo too. I wish you were more local for me, I'd support your business all of the time. :)

Nice job SBF and good news about your son.

Any chance we'll see a Pit Pirate restaurant someday?

We are actually already talking about a Carry-out BBQ Joint here in Northern VA where I hope to be the Official BBQ of the Washington Redskins one day and be serving at Fed/Ex Field.

Mike every done this? If you are going to shave your head might as well raise some money!

I didn't think about raising money this time bro just raising Elijah's spirits. We actually had about 10 of his and my friends all do it at the same time. He and I are the only ones still bald.

Congrats, SBF! That is great news! Glad to hear your BBQ is taking off.
Also glad to hear your son is doing well. Congrats again!

Here is Elijah a few weeks ago. He looks a little more beat up these days.
