Definition of a Pitmaster from John T. Edge

Last month I asked the question on twitter whether my readers preferred the term "Pit Boss" or "Pit Master" when speaking of those that tend the meat and the flame. John T. Edge, Director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, sets the record straight in this lecture at the University of North Carolina. It's a long video, with the first half being the lecture and the second half is a short film entitled CUT/CHOP/COOK. The film features the work of Rodney Scott at Scott's Variety Store in Hemingway, South Carolina.

I always liked Pit Master anyway.
