When you order barbecue, maybe you get a side order of potato salad or baked beans. Rob Wilds likes those, too, but what he really appreciates with his meal is a side order of history. That is just what he got recently when he visited the Corner Pit Barbecue in the community of Bryson. Owner Bill Pfeiffer (Fife-er) and his family keep the history of the community alive while also keeping the barbecue coming.
