Beyond Organic

Certifications for organic and humanely raised meat mean less than you might think, and some of the standards for foods labeled as such are surprisingly low. At Redemption BBQ, we work as directly as possible with local farmers to ensure that the meats we serve come from animals raised outdoors and fed food their bodies were designed to eat.

Rev. Dr. Porkchop

Pitmaster John Vest—aka Rev. Dr. Porkchop—is the owner and operator of Redemption BBQ. After nearly two decades as a pastor and seminary professor, John turned his passions for traditional cooking and building community around shared tables into a barbecue business committed to practices that honor the animals and farmers who feed us.

Virginia-Style Barbecue

Redemption BBQ is part of a movement to recover and celebrate the barbecue heritage of Virginia, the true birthplace of Southern barbecue. Our meats, our techniques, as many supporting ingredients as possible, and our core sauces are all rooted in the rich traditions of Virginia barbecue.
