Van Sykes was born in 1955, the year before his parents opened their first place in the Central Park neighborhood of Birmingham. "My father was the idea person, and my mother had good business sense," says Van. " They both loved food and wanted to work together. Dad had grown up near Clarksville, Tennessee,and learned the barbecue art there in the 1940s by watching legendary pit man named Buck Hampton do his thing. So that became his specialty."
