Watch Planes Land While You Chow Down On Delicious BBQ At Pik N Pig BBQ In North Carolina
When we say people taxi in to the Pik N Pig BBQ restaurant in Carthage, North Carolina, we don’t mean they arrive in the back seat of one of those fancy Ubers. Although, if you wanted to take an Uber, you probably could, or you can even drive yourself here in your own vehicle. But the real entertainment of this remote BBQ joint lies in the small private airport found just outside of the eatery.
