This little piggy got roasted.

Tonight is part three of our pork epic... our "Epork" of you will. Monday night I proved to you true barbecue is "plain" dry slow roasted pig. Yesterday we then confirmed that when only the best will do, the only barbecue saw deserving of the best pork is Scott's barbecue sauce. In particular it is the eastern North Carolina, vinegar based sauce that pork cries out for. For two days now, you have been watching, waiting, and drooling, wondering where this would all end up. Well you need wait no longer. Tonight, I present to you:

The Krystal Piglet


This is a Chik bun with Clifty Farm BBQ on top.

Next we give it a delicious dose ("anointing") of Scott's

Lastly, for the real heathens, a pickle on top.
This was absolutely delicious. I terribly sad I only had enough fixins' to make one. I did have to remove the pickle prior to eating it, since I do have a bit of self respect.
I chose the name "Piglet" to go along with Krystal's Chiks and Pups.
Do I honestly think Krystal would ever serve something like this? Sadly, no. But oh how I wish they would. I suspect the biggest problem they would have would be people confused over why their "BBQ Sandwich" didn't have red cause poured all over it. Sadly, Krystal Kountry is very large and Eastern NC is only a small segment. Technically, the "down east" part of NC isn't even in Krystal Kountry, but is instead just across the border into Burgatory.
Now in another of those Krystal Koincidences, Clifty Farms is actually based in Tennessee, not NC. Yes, Tennessee, just like Krystal. Actually just outside Nashville. They also apparently have farms in Scottsville, Kentucky. See the other Koincidence? Scotts-ville? So we have a company reproducing the best barbcue on Earth based not too far from the company making the best hamburgers on Earth. The barbecue company also happens to be in a town named very similar to the best barbecue sauce on Earth.
Perhaps the only thing that can rival the power of a Krystal if the power of a really tasty pig.
Two closing notes: First, just because we now have the piglet doesn't mean that Pork-a-palooza is over. I'll be back tomorrow and Friday with more porkish posts for your enjoyment. Second, I titled this post with a slight modification. Obviously, we didn't want our piggy eating roast beef. We want to roast the piggy!
Krystal Lovers like hot buns.

Made me some spareribs last night. Rubbed 'em all over with mexene and sage, roasted 'em, and then dumped a whole bottle of Sweet Baby Rays on 'em.

Yankee Yum Yumm!
