Smoke gets in your eyes, hair, and clothes. To deal with it, some San Antonio–area pitmasters shave their heads and have hampers dedicated to work clothes. They still leave the shower smelling “like wet wood.”
Curry Boys BBQ in San Antonio draws national attention:
Some of the most legendary foods in America were created out of hardship.
One year after Covid-19 infiltrated the meatpacking industry and sparked nationwide plant closures, meat shortage fears and an executive order to keep production lines going, frontline workers continue to face risk.
Since last April, more than 50,000 cases have been tied to the meatpacking industry, and at least 248 workers have died, according to tracking by the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting.
The industry is especially vulnerable to the coronavirus because the same features that allow a steady churn of cheap meat also provide the perfect breeding ground for airborne diseases: a cramped workplace, a culture of underreporting illnesses, and a cadre of rural, immigrant and undocumented workers who often live and work together because few other jobs are available.

Soon, the East Coast’s first Amazon grocery stores will be opening in the DMV and Pennsylvania.
Another location is planned for the Philadelphia suburb of Warrington, Pa.
The company says it’s looking to hire hundreds of full- and part-time workers.
The company is looking for people to fill a range of roles, including managerial positions, and its minimum wage is $15 per hour for lower-tier roles. Amazon’s new grocery store in Washington, D.C., is a welcome addition to our community, Washington Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development John Falcicchio said in a statement.
In a contentious race that has drummed up millions of dollars for campaigning and attack ads, Deborah Kerr and Jill Underly will face off April 6 for the top position overseeing K-12 education in Wisconsin.
The winner will replace current state superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor, who was appointed by Tony Evers when he left the post to become governor. Taylor did not seek to keep the position.
Kerr, former superintendent of Brown Deer Schools, has been backed by former Gov. Scott Walker and other conservatives, though she self-identified as a “pragmatic Democrat.” Left-leaning groups and politicians have aligned with Underly, superintendent of the Pecatonica School District in southwest Wisconsin.
