Southern Living’s Luncheon with Legends is almost here and we talk about the pitmasters, the menu and what you can expect Sept. 20 at The Hunter Farm in Weddington. For the first time ever, a partnership with the Charlotte Regional Visitors’ Authority is bringing five pitmasters together to showcase distinct traditions, techniques, and stories. Find out which Carolina joints landed on Robert F. Moss’ list of the best new BBQ right now – and which one missed out by closing hours before the list was finalized. Don’t miss this Fall festival line up in this Carolina BBQ Festival local barbecue summer episode of The Low & Slow Barbecue Show that is helping you prepare for the changing seasons. We save dessert for last with Carolina BBQ news bites that include 55 years of BBQ King.
The Low & Slow Barbecue Show 2026 season is sponsored by Carolina BBQ Festival, which invites you to celebrate local barbecue summer 2026 today when you visit a locally owned barbecue business. Find a list of local pitmasters here!
