Abstract:
Started eighteen years ago by the late Bill McLawhorn and his wife Peggy, B's Barbecue is now run by their daughters. The place has no telephones and no take-out menus. B's operates on a frantic pace with servers passing out barbecue and chicken dinners to hungry customers until the place closes around 2 PM or when the barbecue runs out. Customers can either eat inside or outside at red-painted picnic tables.

Abstract:
The former ECU English faculty member educated readers on the origins of pig picking, a dining tradition she declared was a socio-economic equalizer. As Faulkner disclosed, North Carolina can almost claim authorship of this tradition. Authorship can be claimed as far as the tradition starting in the South. The dividing line—the Mason-Dixon line, that is—can be found far north of it, with this Southern tradition having caught on in at least one town in Pennsylvania.
