The Hamilton family name has been part of Tennessee barbecue for more than fifty years. The family owned and operated the Fox Restaurant in Jackson, Tennessee from the late 1930s until 1958, and family patriarch J.T. Hamilton Sr. acquired The Hut restaurant on Humboldt Highway in Jackson in 1949. During the 1960s and 1970s The Hut thrived under the supervision of his two sons, Steve and Tommy Hamilton, and employed the same loyal kitchen staff for more than 30 years.

John Hamilton got his first taste of the restaurant business at age eight, standing on a milk crate mixing cornbread. After earning a degree in Restaurant Management from the University of Tennessee in 1985, he managed franchise restaurants including L & N Seafood Grill, Ruby Tuesday and Applebee's. He returned to Nashville in the early 1990s, founded Pig & Pie in 1998, and began perfecting the cooking methods and original recipes from The Hut for his growing catering business. John and his partners won a large catering account and opened their restaurant on Charlotte Pike in 1999.

For seven years in a row, WeddingWire nominated the business for the Couples' Choice Awards, and past clients have given it nearly 100 5-star reviews. It holds a rating of 5.00.

That record of repeat wedding-industry recognition and near-perfect client feedback reflects a Nashville catering operation built on decades of Tennessee barbecue tradition.
