What the creator captured
Eater explored the multi-generational legacy of Sam Jones BBQ, focusing on the precise 18-hour wood-fired process of whole hog cooking. The highlight was witnessing the unique technique of blistering the pork skin to a cracker-like consistency before chopping it directly into the meat for a balanced texture. Sam Jones emphasized that while the equipment has evolved from holes in the ground, the commitment to wood-fired purity remains unchanged.
