New wood-cooked whole hog barbecue joint alert! The Honey Hog in Morganton, North Carolina, opened in July. Cooking locally-sourced whole hog plus brisket, ribs, chicken and more on a pair of offsets named Paw Paw and Nannie. (No, really.)
It's pretty darn big operation, too, complete with a full bar and two dining porches. The Piedmont of NC and Texas collide with red slaw and hushpuppies alongside chavos beans and jalapeño cream corn.
