For James Sluss, his love of BBQ goes back a long time. He was already the family grill master as a small boy, working under a chef that to this day, Sluss swears is some of the best he’s ever had. Two decades of restaurant industry experience and a culinary school degree later, he opened up shop at Pigs Head BBQ, and Kalamazoo, MI is eating well.
Sluss isn’t messing around here; he’s smoking 17-hour brisket, 16-hour pulled pork, St. Louis-style ribs, wings, turkey, sausages, and a whole lot more. BBQ is a 2-part game though, and great meats are nothing without great sides. Sluss seems to know this, because Pigs Head is slinging classic stuff like collard greens, mac & cheese, and cornbread as well as some not-so-classic-but-oh-so-fresh stuff like pasta, cucumber, and caprese salads. Things are going to work out for you at Pigs Head BBQ, so what are you waiting for? Track them down in the Kalamazoo area, or just book them to cater your next event.
