Abstract:

Wilbur King Sr. started Kings Restaurant in Kinston in 1936. The restaurant was originally part of a country store and filling station, but has since gained its own space and opened three branches. The restaurant serves eastern style barbecue, but is most known for the Pig in a Puppy sandwich—barbecue served in a hush puppy bun.
