Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
A bit of bad news here in NC.
The Pick-n-Pig suffered a complete loss over the weekend. A 3am fire burned the place to the ground. The original smoke house is all that is left standing. They do have a funding page up and vow to build as soon as possible.
Just wanted to let the out of towners know so they don't make the trek in vain.

Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
Yep herd about it via their Facebook page ( wife does the book-o-face) . Really a shame it was such an awesome kind of place, hopefully when they get it rebuild it keeps that texture that old places like this have.
Any ideas on another place anywhere close'ish to compare to the Pig ?

Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
Oh no! I was just about to suggest that we have a Pik-n-Pig run now that things are getting back to normal. Hickory Regional Airport (KHKY) has a decent cafe that is accessible from the ramp. It's a tower controlled airport with decent controllers. No grass to land on, though. Rutherford County Airport (KFQD) has a cafe next to the terminal that's not bad but small. There's a decent barbecue place, the Flying Pig within walking distance of Shelby Airport (KEHO). It was closed for renovations last time I was there, but it may be open now. According to funplacestofly.com Martha's Grill at Montgomery County Airport (43A) in Star, NC east of Charlotte has an on-field restaurant but I've never been there. Suzanne's Cafe at Blue Ridge Airport (KMTV) in Martinsville VA isn't too far away for NC pilots and it's very good. The restaurant is in the terminal building.

Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
Maybe one of y'all's North Carolina guys will check out Marthia's Grill, it's exactly the same distance as BQ1 for all practical purposes. If it's good might be worth a few visits while the pick-n-pig does it's impression of a Phoenix

Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
Anyone interested in a southeast lunch bunch Maule get together at KMTV Martinsville VA? They have a good on-field restaurant and bushwheel-friendly grass beside the hard surface runway. It's a reasonable distance for most of us. They close at 2:30 pm on weekdays and 4:00 pm on weekends.
The Pik-N-Pig is still rebuilding from the fire. Their website says that they are hoping to re-open this summer.

Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
I checked out Martha's Grill at 43A in Star NC a while ago. I think KMTV in Martinsville VA is a nicer airport with a better restaurant.

Re: Southeast Lunch Bunch
Yes, I’m interested! Weekdays usually work better for me than weekends. We’ve been to Suzanne’s (kmtv) several times over the winter. Good food and reasonable prices. Jason has cheap(er) fuel in the field too. (No fuel is cheap anymore)
The new BBQ restaurant @ JNX is pretty great too.
I’ve still yet to try Martha’s or Stanton’s BBQ.
