hog heaven


Driving north on US 17 we stopped at Hog Heaven, a bar-b-que and raw bar restaurant on Pawley's Island. The bar-b-que was superb: two vinegar sauces, hot and mild; a mustard sauce labeled as tangy; and a tomato sauce recommended for chicken and ribs (but which went well on the pork as well). Jami raved about it, and she's more the connoisseur than I am. We'll stop here again I'm certain. The grand thing is that it's a buffet. The tea is sweet and good and the pork is plentiful. A person could impair themself eating here. Still we made it back to the car, and when we arrived at Oak Island only an hour or so later, we had a good bar-b-que story.
One beautiful thing about moving to Durham is that I love North Carolina bar-b-que, even more so than Georgia's. In fact, I love Alabama bar-b-que, especially around Birmingham more. You can only find good Brunswick stew around Atlanta though.
