If you’re craving Carolina-style whole-hog barbecue, head to this quaint little spot outside of town that’s the partnership of a chef, heritage pig farmer, and seasoned pitmaster. You’ll also find fried chicken, mac and cheese, smoky collard greens, and all the proper fixings. On Sunday, there are fun barbecue biscuit creations and mimosas at brunch. It's more upscale than your classic roadside shack, but this barbecue is just as bona fide.
