Barry: My name is Barry Deavers and we are in Pendleton, South Carolina.

Just outside Clemson University.

We started the Smokin' Pig in 2009.

We had three children and we've always been in the restaurant business our whole life but we ended up working seven days a week.

We thought the barbecue honestly just being open on the weekend was our biggest draw.

And we've never opened more than three days a week Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Brisket is a big seller of ours but I'll be honest with you, I'm always go back to our pork.

It just tells me that I'm eating at a barbecue place when I got a beautiful plate of pork in front of me.

We picked... you can pick the sauces on the table we make all the sauces in house and even though I live our brisket and I think he's really good.

I'm just a pork guy day in day out.

The fried corn is something that we started this year where we grow it in the backfield.

We actually pick it back there we bring it straight up to the restaurant where you chuck it in the back and we deep fat fry it out.

And it's been one of our biggest sellers.

The thing that makes Smokin' Pig unique, a little bit cut above or different than the rest of them is is it's a destination is almost an experience when you come here.

We've added a lot of stuff in the last year.

We have a put-put that is free for anybody that comes here.

We have corn holes now we have a turf where you can go out bring your blanket and enjoy it out there.

We have craft beer now a part of that so it's not just come and eat and leave, it can and you can do that honestly but if you want to enjoy more and just hang out with us and enjoy the people you with, this is the place to do it.

If South Carolina was a dish here at the Smokin' Pig it would have to consist of our pork our mill ground grits and our fresh corn.

And of course it's got to have the banana pudding but we have people that leave tags it goes on the back of their car and they want us to put it up and and we certainly are glad to do that.

We've had colleges that would bring their oars when they're competing down here at Clemson and they came In here and saw the Clemson oar up on the wall, and they say, Hey, if we bring in one of our oars will you put it up?

Absolutely.

they bring their college flag we're always proud and glad to fly that and put up any kind of stuff like that.

We encourage them to sign it of course, and a lot of our patrons have signed the walls inside their original place in here.

And that's just one of the fun factors that makes this place right here.

Just something fun to come back to.

Even if you don't sign the wall you can read there were other people have and what some of the things that they have put on there.

Just I don't know it just makes it makes it a fun place to visit.
