Welcome to Dixie Drive, the main drag through that little town up the road. Make a right or left onto any side street and who knows what or who you might come across. These folks are as unpredictable as a squirrel in the street on a hot summer's day and they don't care what you think about it. They're not hurting anybody, (except maybe themselves). they're just playing their cards with the hand they were dealt, so stand back and we'll see what they come up with next. The folks near Dixie Drive might reside in some backwater southern town and some of their weirdness may be particularly "Southern" but don't kid yourself, this is Small Town America: the same animal from Portland East to Portland West. Woof!

Now you’ve done it. Everyone is going to start posting how, no, it’s Texas, or Tennessee, or wherever that has the best…

If you’re a pig, does it really matter where you are?

They are also quite fond of bacon.

Before the barbecue, the situation at the slaughter house must first take place..

The reason I used NC (a state in which “Barbeccue” is a noun) is that around here, they say “we eat everythang but the squeal”! That’s terrifying in a way… all that’s left are the echoes of the screaming!!

And of course we must clarify: Eastern NC BBQ over Western.

In Louisiana, those little piggies have more than just barbecue to fear. We have a tradition known as a cochon-de-lait.

Gotta have the Carolina cole slaw. The crunch gets us past the squeals.

In the 70s I used to work on a hog farm part time in N.C. and payment was in food. As far as I am concerned they had the best roast pork, barbcue, and sausage I have ever eaten in my life. Sure ate good while I was there.

I wonder what folks in Arkansas do? They can’t barbecue pigs, that’s their college mascot. I guess they stick to BBQ beef or possum.
