Abstract:

Red Bridges learned the barbecuing business from Warner Stamey in the 1930s, and in 1946 opened his own restaurant in Shelby. When he died in the mid-1960s, his wife Lyttle, known as Mama B, ran the business until her death in 2011. Her daughter, Debbie Bridges-Webb, granddaughter, Natalie Ramsey, and great-grandson, Chase Webb, continue the family business.
