Our Story

Daly Thompson Boo and Henry's BBQ Executive Pitmaster

Boo and Henry’s Memphis Pit BBQ celebrates the legacy of BBQ Pitmasters and the flavors of the South, inspired by my parents. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, during the Great Depression, Jeanne “Boo” and my stepfather Henry Varnell dedicated their lives to Family, Faith, Charity, and Community. In the South, BBQ wasn’t just food—it was part of every celebration, from church socials to fundraisers and family events. Bringing people together with BBQ was a way of life for us. Even today, that same spirit continues, with BBQ keeping our family and community connected.

Welcome to the Family!

“If I only had 24 hours left to live..., one of my stops would be The Pig for Memphis-style BBQ ... with Daly Thompson, owner and BBQ chef from Memphis. Daly makes and bottles different kinds of bbq sauce. Take your pick. But, for something really different, try adding all sauces at the same time.... The folks who come here really dig BBQ - Jay Leno, Lou Rawls... And you can add me to that long list, too. As a famous general once said, 'I will return!'

SUPPORTING WHAT
WE BUILT TOGETHER
