Zanetta Roberson, owner of Hit Different! Barbeque has over 40 years of experience in the food industry. When Zanetta was a child, her family had restricted finances and relied heavily on home-cooked food as a way to nourish their children. From a young age, she learned to season food perfectly and satisfy anyone’s taste buds.

Zanetta is following her passion by opening her new restaurant in Pelham.

Through Hit Different!, Zanetta is continuing the legacy of her parents—who taught her everything she knows about soul food—by passing down their recipes to her son, Dyron.

“Cooking has always been a passion for me ever since a young age. I fried my first bologna sandwich at six and I used to bake cookies with my mom as an elementary kid.”

The Robersons hope to bring together people from all backgrounds who love food. They want to inspire others to come together and share common ground.

“We really just want to inspire inclusivity and diversity, we want to encourage people from all walks of life to come in and have good food and have good fellowship with one another.”

Dyron Roberson, Operating Partner, Hit Different! Barbecue & Grill
