With over 25 years of experience developing French bakeries in the United States, Antoine Plessy decided to bring one of his favorite American concepts back to the Tarn region: authentic Texas barbecue, with a Tarn twist. Our meats, sourced from carefully selected local farmers, are prepared with exclusive spice blends and then slowly smoked at a low temperature for 6 to 12 hours, using traditional Texas methods. At PIT 81 , everything is homemade: from the seasonings to our artisanal BBQ sauce. We hope you enjoy eating our specialties as much as we enjoy preparing them, in the spirit of conviviality, generosity, and sharing that so naturally unites Texans and the people of the Tarn. Enjoy!
