Happy Birthday, Mrs. LeSwine
Posted on January 7, 2011 by Porky LeSwine
My wife of eight years, Mrs. Prosciutto LeSwine, is turning ever so slightly older today. Needless to say, I have a big day planned for her, and also needless to say it will be 100% barbecue-free. (Our prenuptial agreement requires that I celebrate Mrs. LeSwine’s birthday “with neither barbecue nor swine of any form.”) At any rate, if [...]

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
I have no idea where this photo originated, but it is certainly impressive. Merry Christmas everyone, including those of you who have way too much time on your hands (meat nativity scene creators and barbecue bloggers, for instance).

CoffeehousePorcupine Blows Your Mind in 114 Seconds
Posted on December 8, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
I’m not sure what to make of this YouTube video by “CoffeehousePorcupine” in which he slowly expounds upon his love for North Carolina barbecue, but I think I love it. Either this guy is completely sincere or he’s a master of deadpan surrealism; regardless, the video is fairly awesome. That said, one could quibble with CoffeehouseP’s summary of [...]

Barbecued Fox?
Posted on July 26, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
Barbecued fox? Well, not really barbecued fox, but rather a local Fox affiliates’ take on “Ten Great N.C. Barbecue Restaurants.” See Sarah Palin’s favorite Triangle area TV station’s ‘cue list here. Top 10 lists are always suspect and always generate debate so I’ll stay out of the fray like my middle name is Switzerland (it is [...]

Slipped on a Pig Peel…
Posted on July 19, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
A tip of the snout to alert reader Eric “Cracklins” Calhoun, who noticed this gem of an article.

Porky’s Pulpit: Shame on Food Lion
Posted on July 12, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
Regional grocery store giant Food Lion is based in Salisbury, NC, one of the most important (if underappreciated) barbecue towns in North Carolina due to its role as perhaps the birthplace of so-called “Lexington-style” barbecue. Thus, one might expect that the folks at Food Lion would understand how to properly use the word “barbecue.” One would be [...]

iPad Barbecue: Where There’s Smoke, There’s Pixels
Posted on July 5, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
Here’s hoping your July 4th cookout was less pathetic than this tech geeky one. I guess there really is an app for everything, but I think your hog-tech gadget budget would be better spent on this pork-based iPhone stylus.
