Independent Weekly readers have voted whole hog, pit-cooked barbecue mecca The Pit the area's Best Barbecue.
From the restaurant's website:
"North Carolina is known for its
legendary barbecue joints. We proudly continue this tradition by serving
authentic whole-hog, pit-cooked barbecue at The Pit in downtown
Raleigh's warehouse district. A celebration of all of the great culinary
offerings of the Old North State, The Pit has made a name for itself as
the destination for the state's signature cuisine. The pigs used to
produce the barbecue are all raised in North Carolina using free-range
farming practices, and the freshest of the state's bountiful produce is
featured in the starters, sides and desserts. Going far beyond
traditional barbecue offerings with some contemporary twists on Southern
favorites, The Pit also serves Texas-style brisket, baby back ribs,
barbecue turkey, fried chicken, and a can't-miss barbecue tofu dish."
"Pork fans will appreciate the kitchen window, playfully named the "pig bar," where you may sample the hog from head to tail."
