Eat Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot, Selma, Alabama
Lannie’s has been serving BBQ in Selma’s historically Black Tuxedo Park neighborhood since 1942 when the late Lannie and Will Travis began smoking hogs in a cinder-block pit next to their home. During Selma’s hotbed of civil rights activity in the sixties, Lannie’s served barbecue sandwiches to Black activists staying in the neighborhood, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, and Fred Shuttlesworth. But customers of all races were always welcome, and the restaurant continues to thrive beneath the caring hands of the third generation, both for its heaping plates of food as well as a buzzy community center. Don’t leave without trying the smoked pulled pork topped with crackling (fried pig skin).
