Pitmaster Ledyard started his career at the age of 16 in historic Charleston, SC, where he also grew up. Cheyenne worked his way up from host to restaurant manager in some of Charleston's finest restaurants. These include California Dreaming, Poogan's Porch, and Garibaldi's to name a few. With a love for BBQ Cheyenne purchased his first BBQ pit in 2000. Working to perfect a dry rub and BBQ sauce, in 2003 everything came together and Ledyard Bar B Que Sauce and Dry Rub was born. Catering then became his focus and honing in on the craft of BBQ. In 2007 Cheyenne launched his website and created his competition bar b que team. Competing in several local KCBS BBQ events in 2008, the team took a break in 2009 and Cheyenne relocated the team to Asheville, NC.
