This Is It!: The Miracle of BBQ

Overview

This Is It! Southern Kitchen & Bar-B-Q has been an integral part of the fabric of the Atlanta community for four decades. The unique establishment of faith, family, favor and flavor is the home of the joyous chant, “it’s the rib tips!” which has become a staple for the restaurant. Shelley “Butch” Anthony III, Tampa native and the founder and owner of This Is It! Southern Kitchen & Bar-B-Q, tells his 40-year history with this documentary, produced and directed by Tammy Williams. The Miracle of BBQ fuses the current-day success and expansion of the restaurant to over ten stores with the four-decade history of the family-owned enterprise, and explores the obstacles and struggles of entrepreneurship, revealing how Anthony, through his faith in God, defied the odds — overcoming the struggles of addiction and having a limited education, ultimately creating a rich legacy.
