We’re so excited to join the folks in Raleigh with our newest Sam Jones outpost. The good people at Eater Carolinas came out to take some beautiful photos of our new digs and talk to Sam and his partner Michael Letchworth about smokin’ hogs, keeping a business alive during COVID-19, and three generations of barbecue.
“The Raleigh location, which boasts an identical menu to its flagship in Greenville, North Carolina, worked out several kinks with a soft opening for to-go only in early February. Jones notes that permits were put in late 2018, with plans to open in late 2019. If on schedule, he notes, the restaurant would have taken a gut punch. “They say the Lord works in mysterious ways and he looked out for us,” says Jones, noting that one of his most important duties is taking care of his wife and children. “Fortunately, we didn’t have to lay anyone off last year.’”
