- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm

By the end of the century, barbecue joints started popping up near Birmingham’s steel mills.  In the 1950's, pitmasters set up shop in roadside shacks to feed weary travelers venturing out on the nation’s new highways and interstates.  In the 1960's, barbecue fed the Civil Rights Movement.  Most recently, Alabama barbeque has adapted to foodie interest in heritage breeds and sustainability.
