Journalist — The Jonesboro Sun
Mike Overall was a journalist for The Jonesboro Sun who wrote a 1993 piece contextualizing Jim Quessenberry's "caveman" philosophy of barbecue alongside the work of famous anthropologists and food historians.
Overall's article elevated Jim's folksy cooking wisdom into something more — drawing a line from ancient fire-cooking traditions to the Arkansas pits where Jim perfected his craft.
