2. Poor Piggy’s — Wilmington

When Poor Piggy’s pit master Ed Coulbourn III left the real estate business to cook bbq, it was his daughter who coined the name of his new franchise. “When she was about 4 years old she saw me cooking a pig one afternoon & said ‘poor piggy, daddy, poor piggy.’” Now Poor Piggy’s has won numerous awards for its smoked meats, including Best Judged Ribs at the 2015 Berea Ohio’s National Rib Cook-Off, the 2015 Canada’s Larges Ribfest and the 2016 Twin City Ribfest, where it also won the title “Grand Champion”.
What’s good: Poor Piggy’s smokes its meats on 100% eco-friendly wood pellets. Their most popular items are the honey drizzled ribs, pork bbq, and pork brisket.

3. Crafted — Greensboro

Chef Kris Fuller has earned multiple awards, including “Best Chef in Greensboro,” “Best Chef in the Triad,” and “Best Restaurant.” And it’s no wonder — she’s got 15 years of culinary experience, a vast knowledge of diverse cooking styles and techniques, and two other successful Crafted eateries. Fuller and longtime employee and friend Matt Vetter “recognized the growing desire for affordable and reimagined fare from around the world.” Thus, the Crafted Food Truck was born, blending the menus of both restaurants and serving delicious eats in taco or pressed-sandwich form.
What’s good: anything on the menu. It’s all made from scratch using fresh, local ingredients, with homemade sauces and items that will surprise and delight.

7. Zeke’s Meats — The Triangle

After 10 years in Philly, owner Zach “Zeke” Firestein moved south to NC to share the sandwich he’d perfected — not the cheesesteak, but the roast pork. Zeke’s Meats prides itself on scratch cooking using thoughtful execution and quality ingredients including seasonal produce sourced from the State Farmers Market. “Our food is always simple and approachable, but as you eat, you can really taste the effort, thought, and love that’s put into every element.”
What’s good: “The roast prok with broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, and long hots is definitely the most popular item.” Other faves include zaatar chicken with cucumber, tomato, pickled onion, and romesco, and the house-cut fries with garlic-rosemary aioli.
