The 2016 vintage of Pickathon involved many “firsts” even though it was our 18th year in existence. The Ingredients Series was one of those firsts- a creative profile of some of the chefs and restaurants that nourish our bodies with delicious eats.

In this month’s episode of the Ingredients Series, we meet Rodney Muirhead with Podnah’s Pit, purveyor of Texas style barbecue. Rodney is no stranger to the smoker. By our math, he has 15 years’ experience smoking Texas style barbecue. Here, we learn how it came to be called Podnah’s and get a visual sample of their barbecue offerings. It makes us hungry just thinking about it.

The 2016 Ingredients Series was directed and filmed by Aaron Filipowsky at the beautiful Pendarvis Farm.
