The Pitmaster of The Blue Pig, Kent, is an Upper Cumberland native & resident of Jackson County, a graduate of Lipscomb University in Nashville and the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. His career as a humanitarian aid worker took him back to Africa a number of times, most recently to Burundi in Central Africa where he served as the CEO of a local bank before he embarked on his career as a restaurateur.

BBQ made the traditional way using only the highest quality ingredients and caring for the local community. Having been raised in the rural country-side and having experienced stressed ecological environments at home and abroad, The Blue Pig remains committed to sustainable business practices so our families can continue to have access to clean drinking water and enjoy our great outdoors for Hiking, Kayaking, Hunting & Fishing for years to come.
