I think they pay for these “advertisements” just like professionals pay to be in “who’s who in America” ect.

Patrick Ford = creator of Bone Suckin’ Sauce.  Didn’t know he was a celebrity.

Whatever happened on the Bobby Flay Throwdown with Ed Mitchell and the Pit? I know it was broadcast but I never heard the outcome.

SPOILER

Bobby Flay got beatdown with his twice cooked ribs. he started cooking them over at the Brownstone hotel parking lot before taking them over for a final firing. He screwed up again on a rib challenge since he refuses to at least go with an apple based sauce to make it taste different.

Flay lost cause he mixed Eastern and Western NC styles. They’re both great, but you have to pick one and go with it. Only a moron would mix them (though I do love Flay)

That said, The Pit seems to have an oddly good PR department. Too bad, cause there are much better q joints in NC

Small data sample, but the one time I ate at The Pit it was average at best. [I did like the feel and layout of the place.]  I think they have a great marketing budget because this place is everywhere. I will try it again at some point, but would not want this place to rep my cities best BBQ.

I am with LB. It has nice atmosphere but the food is average. All the pretty people go there!
