Man, this looks delicious. And I gotta say, I love the photography on this site. Sometimes people take pictures of food and the photos just don’t do the food justice. Well done.

the photos of those desserts made me literally gasp. WANT. i’ve come to realize my favorite desserts always belong to one of the three C groups: caramel, cream and custard. so either of these pies would make me very, very happy.

Is the ready availability of bbq and peanut butter cream pies why southerners are large and in charge? do you think i’d see some southern hospitality if i asked that in them there regions? just curious y’all.

Okay, actually I might be down with that kind of BBQ if I’m ever in the area, but that lemon cream pie makes me want to cower under the bed!

Pigs!

those rolls do indeed look soggy. One day I hope to experience southern indifference, having never been there… the pies, the pigs and the plates all look great

yum yum bbq southern style,lol it is true what you say, Southern Hospitality is not as it once was. Some people, some places are more hospitable than others. Now it seems as everyone has a chip on their shoulders. Unless of course you speak with a bit of a southern drawl, or the restaurant is new and has a point to prove, the southern hospitality mentality might have just missed you. Thanks for sharing

Girl! You have some serious eating abilities.

I’m impressed by how clean that place looks. Many BBQ places in SC are kind of…scummy. It’s a good scum, built of pork grease, but scummy nonetheless. Of course, I know of no BBQ joint in Carolina that boasts a collection of little piggy statues, so perhaps that’s the difference.

Southern hospitality is a weird thing, even for those of us from there. My opinion is that southerners are *polite*, which is not the same thing as friendly. I found Californians much *friendlier* even when less polite. But, of course, it’s a matter of perception, so I make no claims to absolute truth.
