Parker’s Pit Spreads Some Joy on a Sunny Sunday in Middleport
Mark Bruning, Owner at Parker’s Pit on Route 104 in Middleport, held a roadside display featuring free hot dogs, fully outfitted cartoon characters, and a full menu to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the establishments kitchen opening.

Parker’s Pit itself has been in operation four years. Although, Bruning has been perfecting his craft for some time, he explained, “I’ve been smoking food for about twenty years, and all of my friends and family, they had wanted me to open my own place.”

Bruning explained his business model, “Everybody that comes here, they are company, not customers. So, if you are a first-timer, welcome to the Parker Pit family.”
