"Pig Picker offers large, soft pieces of pulled pork that are scarcely sauced at all. Of course, there is sauce on each table if you need to spice it up."

"Here is a barbecue in the classic eastern North Carolina configuration: chopped into a hash and spiced with a subtle vinegar sauce. Also on the plate are boiled potatoes (typical of Q houses in this region) and greens, plus the corn sticks that seem to have replaced hush puppies in some local restaurants."
Michael Stern
"Here is where people place their order and stand around waiting for it. At least half the customers get theirs "to go." By the way, the blue uniforms on the guys in the center identified them as employees of a local peanut company. Peanuts are big hereabouts."
Michael Stern
"Add this topless pink porker to the long list of oinking mascots that mark so many southern barbecues. We understand the chef's toque, but that thing around Piggy's waist looks more like a diaper than an apron, doesn't it?"
