“If We Cant Smoke It, We Grill It.”

From highway 321 in North Carolina, one might think this big pink building is some sort of sex shop (even the parking lot lines were pink). But no, pink is for pig at the BBQ Man Rib Hut where you are invited to “come and get your butt rubbed.” Hmm... a bit pervy after all, Mr. BBQ Man?

I decided to pig in.

A good sign for a baconista to follow...

Barbecued pork, beef & chicken, ribs, hush puppies, sausage, sliced pork and a leg of chicken. A bit of everything which I probably managed to get through maybe a quarter of. The best thing on the plate (besides the addictive hush puppies) was the pulled pork—perfectly smokey and not sauced. At the table you have your choice of the two styles of NC sauces: tomato-based or vinegar-based. Also at the table are a bunch of piggies staring down at you as you happily devour one their own.

Hawk Hunts for Fried Chicken

Sorry for the lack of bacon in this story but it’s just too odd not to post. I took the train into work this morning with fellow porkavore Charlotte & her pup Olive. We had a whole conversation about hawks in city parks attacking little dogs. Well the hawks must be tired of chihuahua. According to Gothamist, a hawk flew into Birdie’s to snack on some Jerk BBQ chicken! I don’t blame him—Grandma Birdie’s “chicken for the people” is pretty good and has some of the best homemade lemonade I’ve had in the city. But if that hawk wanted some serious fried chicken, he should’ve flown over to the west side to check out Dirty Bird.

Review: Bridge Street Cafe

Lunch at Bridge Street Cafe in Irvington, NY.

Chicken cutlet sandwich with bacon, cheese and pineapple salsa:

Bacon Wrapped. Deep Fried.

Paula can be annoying at times but her recipes are NEVER disappointing. I want to go to to Savannah just to eat at Lady & Sons!

I believe this is based on a recipe from Stuff Magazine. It looks gross but if you use the right dogs and good cheese (NOT spray cheese!) I bet it's pretty damn tasty!!

More deep-fried, bacon wrapped goodness:

Chicken Fried Bacon

I'm not ashamed to admit that on occasion (usually a hung-over occasion) I will order a side of bacon... and that's it. If only I lived in Snook, Texas where bacon is not just a side.
