At first, I was mildly disappointed that Bob’s Pig Shop, 829 N. Ash in Pauls Valley, was not a place to buy pigs and/or clothes for them; but, as I took a gander at my surroundings, that would soon turn to porcine elation as I saw a dining room full of locals chowing heartily on barbeque pig-meat, the lingering smell causing me to smack my well-worn lips in anticipation.
The menu—complete with a highly recommended tale about the origin of Bob’s on the back—proudly touts its meat, cooked in an nearly 90-year-old brick pit with a hand-drawn fire daily, with special consideration given to the controversial “original recipe” of their beloved large Pig Sandwich ($7.00).
