Reidsville, NC: Short Sugar's
Date

Listen to this feature (How to listen)

Figure that you'll smell like hickory smoke and pork after eating at Short Sugar's. But no one minds because the whole-hog pit barbecue is simply glorious. The virtually sauceless (sauce is available on the side if you ask) meat comes two ways: on a coleslaw-heaped bun or on a plate with the slaw and hushpuppies on the side.

Short Sugar's opened in 1949 by three brothers. The setting is small-town café basic with tables and a long counter, which Michael claims is the preferred spot. If you're not into barbecue, Michael says go for the "wicked good" chili dog.
