"Known as one of the most respected barbecue joints in the D.C. area, Federalist Pig was opened by Rob Sonderman and Steve Salis in December 2016, with Sonderman serving as pitmaster. The partnership behind Federalist Pig has been discussing a fried chicken concept since the restaurant’s inception, and the Salis Holdings group continues to expand its offerings and reach — they recently bought a custom mobile kitchen with a J&R Manufacturing smoker that will begin selling Federalist Pig barbecue in Hyattsville in the coming month." - Gabe Hiatt
