Boo and Henry’s Memphis Pit BBQ celebrates the legacy of BBQ Pitmasters and the flavors of the South, inspired by my parents. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, during the Great Depression, Jeanne “Boo” and my stepfather Henry Varnell dedicated their lives to Family, Faith, Charity, and Community. In the South, BBQ wasn’t just food—it was part of every celebration, from church socials to fundraisers and family events. Bringing people together with BBQ was a way of life for us. Even today, that same spirit continues, with BBQ keeping our family and community connected.
