Get ready, Baltimore! Pit & Pendulum BBQ is proud to announce we’ll be serving up our signature smoked meats and unique, gothic-inspired flavors at the Howard County Veteran-Owned Small Biz EXPO and Fall Festival this weekend. This is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of veteran entrepreneurship and community pride, and we’re honored to be a part of it.
As a service-disabled veteran-owned business, our founder and pitmaster, Dan Hatfield, is passionate about this event—it’s a chance to connect with fellow veterans, military families, and the community that has so generously supported us.
The EXPO is a free, family-friendly event with something for everyone. In addition to a variety of veteran-owned small businesses showcasing their products and services, there will be live music, a gaming truck, giveaways, and plenty of delicious food. It’s the perfect opportunity to see what military-connected entrepreneurs are bringing to the local economy and to grab a bite of authentic, low-and-slow barbecue.
We’ll be serving our full range of smoked meats, from our famous pulled pork and brisket to our creative, award-winning Gothic Chicken Wings. So, come out and support local, veteran-owned businesses, and satisfy your craving for something truly extraordinary.
We can’t wait to see you there. Come say hello, grab some food, and remember: Summon the Heat, Invoke the Smoke, Feast without Fear!
