"When John Snedden first opened Rocklands BBQ in December 1990 I learned it was a labor of love—he would typically start his day at 7 a.m. and leave around midnight—and that his barbecue obsession dated back to roasting whole pigs in high school and college; by the late 1980s he was competing in local contests like the National Capital Barbecue Battle, which led him into private catering and eventually the restaurant business." - Eater Staff
