ROSEVILLE, Minn. — A local barbecue joint is more than what it seems.
Pittie Q BBQ was created by two families both affected by suicide and now their mission is to support other families who have suffered the same loss.
Pittie Q BBQ opened inside the B-Dale Club in Roseville in December 2023.
Troy and Jen Canfield co-own Pittie Q BBQ with Paul Thomas and his wife Brooke.
Troy and Jen Canfield have been competing in the BBQ circuit for more than five years with plenty of wins and even a Grand Championship title last year.
Troy and Jen have created a sought-after sauce called Sodalina (a mixture of Minnesota and Carolina) that they're looking to bottle and sell beyond the restaurant.
The menu at Pittie Q BBQ is filled with plenty of options including burgers, brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, baked beans, mac n' cheese and deep-fried blue gill!
The restaurant's name is based on Troy and Jen's love for pit bulls or pitties.
