Pitmaster Collective Dishes Up More Outstanding Restaurants

Dallas, TX, September 17, 2024 — The Pitmaster Collective, the world’s best barbecue club, has announced that they have surpassed affiliations with 200 Pitmaster partners spanning America and eight international countries. Every restaurant, a privately owned establishment creating artisan barbecue and related dishes such as sides and tacos, offers club members a food discount during all business hours, along with other club perks. Join at pitmastercollective.com.

“Our Pitmasters are the heartbeat of our organization,” said John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO. “They are chosen because of their commitment to crafting delicious barbecue, cooked the old-fashioned way. There’s no cost to our Pitmasters to join – you must be chosen by our team for your food and your commitment to the community.”

Pitmaster Collective restaurants are currently in 22 states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin) and eight foreign countries (Canada, Greece, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Norway, Russia, United Kingdom.). While some restaurants have been in business for just a few years, others have been serving hungry customers for decades. (Golden Rule Barbecue in Alabama has been in business since 1891.) Pitmasters include many accomplished, award-winning chefs, including several James Beard Foundation nominees/winners, and many have been featured on The Food Network and in publications from Texas Monthly and The New York Times to Food and Wine and Bon Appetit.

“We’ve seen more than 25% growth in the number of Pitmaster partners in the past few months, and we’re committed to continuing to grow the network to bring more and more passionate barbecue lovers together with the best in the business,” said Billingsley.
