Wholly Pig! Greatest Pulled Pork in the World

Ever since I was a kid I loved to eat pork bbq.  Spent many of summers at pig roast, pig pickens, you name it.  As far as restaurants go my first real taste for ribs was Adams Rib in Edgewater.  Tasted BBQ at every chain restaurant, non-chain establishment, road side stand, strip mall anywhere you can get.  In the north, south, east and west.  For many years the open pit roast beef at Bayside Bull in Edgewater has been a great pick me up a sandwich in 30 seconds place to get a quick fix on some swine or bull.

This week myself and a friend had to take a road trip to the James Madison Montpelier Estate in Virginia.   On our way we stopped at a Sheetz gas station to use the little boys room, which by the way was spotless, clean and very well decorated for a bathroom.  At that moment the planets must have aligned the sky opened up, because we were both hungry for lunch.  Behind this gas station there was a log cabin trailer, that was selling bbq.  It looked something like this.

I must apologize for not knowing the name of this place, but I have included maps and directions to find it.

Let me tell you, that for $5.00 it was the BEST pulled pork bbq sandwich that ever tempted my taste buds.  My friend agreed.  Piled high on a warm buttery bun and loaded with chunks of pork, NOT shredded.  A perfect tablespoon portion of sauce right on top.  We also split a potato salad which was amazing and finished things off with some warm Pecan Pie.

We noticed the owner was using oak wood to create his flame & embers; and the grill had a rotisserie platform inside.  I said to my friend as we were ordering, "anything cooked in a log cabin has to be good."

That sandwich made the 300 mile round trip journey worth it.

So if you ever travel down to Fredricksburg Va. in a parking lot behind a Sheetz on the corner of Rte3 & Rte20 there is pig with your name on it.
