Monk: Speedy and I have previously visited the Williamston location of The Smoking Pig a little over 8 years ago and rather enjoyed it. In this video, owner Barry Deavers talks specifically about the Pendleton location, which is just outside of Clemson closer to I-85. Interestingly, while people seem to like his brisket he is always partial to the pork from growing up in SC.

Description: At The Smoking Pig, customers can enjoy homemade sauces and fresh, deep-fired corn grown right behind the restaurant. On this episode of Backroad Bites, check out the Pendleton location of this mini chain of barbecue restaurants in South Carolina’s Upcountry.
