Mike Hedrick was born on the banks of the New River on the North Carolina Coast. He grew up on BBQ and Pulled Pork was some of his first solid food. After years of growing up as a country boy camping and cooking Mike began Grilling and Barbecuing. After years of cooking for family and friend Mike began his ongoing passion to make the best barbecue in the world.

In his first season on the National Barbecue Competition Circuit Mike's Pit Pirate BBQ Team had an amazing Three Top 10's and a 3rd Place Overall Pork at the National Capital Barbecue Battle on Pennsylvania Ave., Washington DC. Mike is now the proud Owner/Chef of Pit Pirate BBQ and does Catering from 50 to 500 and also Concession Sales and is currently looking for a Restaurant location.

 Knowing that serving is more than food Mike organized "Operation BBQ for Our Troops: Walter Reed and collected up donations and and got other BBQ Teams to come and feed 500 of the wounded Soldiers and their Caregivers. When asked by the Assistant Secretary of Defense Health Affairs why he would go to such efforts Mike said “That sir. Seeing the smiles on their faces…the lord says to go and serve, and BBQ is just what I do.”

Mike is currently the Pit Boss and National Spokesman for Pit Crew Barbeque.

Transcripts

Mike Hedrick: Men we are grilling like a villain today. Right now, we're going to do some hotdogs. When you're picking hotdogs, they make a lot of difference kinds. There are pork hotdogs, there are beef hotdogs, and you just got to remember you have all kind of different people that you party, so try to take care of them. But a way that you can do and have a lot of fun with hotdogs is just score them. Kids love doing this, because they can mark their own hotdog, and they know which one is there's on the grill. And really, all we're going to do, is we're going to take that hotdog and we're just going to score through that skin, just the ever slightest, we don't have to cut really deep, in fact, you don't want to cut deep. You just want to open up that skin, and get them on there. We're going to go ahead and do this with a pattern, maybe we will make some nice long stripes, like I said you can let them just make their own, their own hotdogs like this. Let's do another Barber pole, and that way they're keeping track when they are on the grill, anytime they're talking with each other. They're not messing with you, so that's a good thing. And you can see, they are looking great over here on the grill. We've got swirled ones; we've got some that have the lines cut in on them like that. Hotdogs are pretty much already pre-cooked, so it's a matter of just putting grill marks on them, and just having fun with them. Put them on the bun, condiments, maybe a little Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, all that kind of stuff. It's going to be great!
