The Distinctly Black Story of Colorado Barbecue

When it comes to barbecue, Colorado tends to get left out of the national conversation. But it turns out, we have our very own barbecue story to tell, and our Black community is at the center of it all. James Beard award-winner Adrian E. Miller has that story and more in his new book, “Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue.” He joins host Bree Davies on the show today to talk about everything Colorado barbecue, from the 1898 barbecue riot to the legacy of “Daddy” Bruce Randolph and his son Bruce Jr. Learn more about Adrian and his new book at adrianemiller.com Head over to our Twitter @citycastdenver for a recipe straight from Adrian’s book for pork belly burnt ends!
