Myron Mixon, star of the Cooking Channel’s BBQ Pitmasters and a five-time world barbecue champ known as the “winningest man in barbeque” headlines this year’s 2022 Capital Home Show set for next weekend at the Dulles Expo Center.

Mixon, a Georgia-based chef and restaurateur behind Myron Mixon’s Pitmaster BBQ Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria, among other ventures nationwide, will demonstrate his famous brisket recipe from the show’s mainstage on Saturday, Sept. 24.

Nearly 200 companies will showcase the latest products and services in home remodeling, renovation, and home decor over the course of the three-day event.

Feature exhibits include a “Make It, Take It” booth hosted by the Falls Church-based Stylish Patina, offering a series of free, hands-on workshops where attendees can learn how to make a personal craft item to take home, and a large display by Ashburn’s Dreamy Picnic, a woman-owned company that creates luxury picnics for all occasions.
