Sam Jones is a legend. The heir to Pete Jones’ Skylight Inn has done more on his own than his famous grandfather – but his journey hasn’t been an easy one. This video is his story, starting of course with the Skylight Inn and bringing us all the way to present day.
Welcome to Behind The Food TV (formerly Eat More Vegans Carnivore BBQ)! On this channel I document my journey to become a better cook. I travel to meet chefs and pitmasters at the top of their game – and somehow convince them to teach me the techniques that make their food special. I enjoy getting to know them, their families, and their communities – and I hope you enjoy it all just as much!
When I get home, I love to try these new techniques I’m learning – and I post those videos over on my new channel @EatMoreVegans along with my other BBQ experiments and tests – so if you’re looking for my BBQ cooking videos, they are all moving over there!

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! This is the best to date. Unbelievably well done! You guys are GREAT storytellers! This one will be hard to top.
I'm sorry! I commented part way through the video. I should have waited. This is hands down the best documentary I have seen in years. Please keep making these videos. They are heart warming and inspirational.
Brother!!! This was amazing. I followed you back in the days of the red haired dude in his backyard making excellent bbq content. But this was next NEXT level. I have known about Sam Jones for years. NOBODY has EVER told his full story. I know there are so many more BBQ KINGS that need their FULL story told. You are the MAN. And I'm here for it!
Great video and thank you very much for sharing and showing there story. Can’t wait to try it my self. Be safe and thanks again
Al, awesome story telling. Not sure how well you can cook, but you sure do a great job bringing a story to light. Excellent job!!
I don't usually comment on videos, but this is more of a made for TV documentary. Y'all are setting the bar high. Keep up the excellent work.
What an amazing story, from the highs, to the lows!
In a word, WOW! In this spectacularly produced documentary, you have captured it all. The trials and the triumphs. BBQ DNA and the heartaches and headaches of the line of succession. And the guts to put everything on the line to make it happen. And now Sam Jones is a BBQ legend and a top ambassador of BBQ around the country and the world. God bless Alabama's own Nick Pihakis for being one of the greatest BBQ mentors who ever lived. BBQ is more than just great food, and you captured this in this outstanding film. Congratulations!
Can’t believe we didn’t get a notification for this !! 😡
Another incredible in depth look at the team of real people behind the front door of another incredible place I hope to one day visit. So many truths of reality where ‘what in the heck am I doing with my life’ suddenly becomes THIS IS IT. And with a massive lotta love for it too
Am gonna have to go back and watch when the H’s visited Sam for a repeat viewing
Thanks Al and your team for this wonderful piece of food love
Astounding video!!! Great job!!
Great story of the History.

Favorite quote, "he does the best he can with the can he's got" or something close to that anyway. Well said. Great job guys!
This is just amazing Al. I've got the book but this is next level for me. This is the best Sam Jones documentary yet! Thanks for bringing this story to YouTube!
The best video you've come up with. Great job! thoroughly enjoyed Sam Jones sharing their start.
not a got schooled video, but very informational
@BehindTheFoodTV loved every minute of this story!
Masterfully done!
AL, You continue to out do yourself! Such a heartfelt story being told about Sam Jones! It needs to be a TV series…….way better than any BBQ PITMASTER series on TV! Truly an awesome production……Atta Boy to you for the excellent work truly depicting what it’s all about!
