Coal Hollow Brothers documents an Appalachian competition-cooking team, its recipes, history, people, displays, and return to West Virginia’s RoadKill Cook-Off.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.

For: RoadKill Cook-Off followers and Appalachian food-culture readers
Worth noticing: The team lists six RoadKill Cook-Off championships, spanning 2004, 2005, 2007, 2014, 2017, and 2025.

Field notes

The site organizes a long-running team archive around distinct sections for honors, recipes, the show, the team, gallery, news, sponsors, and contact. Its 2026 preview supplies a concrete artifact—Pirate Ship Pork, described as a pork, apple, and savory stew—and places the next competition on September 26 in Marlinton. The homepage contains substantial text but no images in the extracted evidence, despite linking to a gallery.
