The weekend before last I ate with a friend at the One Eyed Pig in Newtown. I had been to this BBQ restaurant once before and got some ribs which weren't too bad. Not bad, but not the best I ever had. So this time I decided to go with their deluxe pulled pork sandwich, the Whackadoo, with some in house sauce on the top. And, of course, this delectable cholesterol popper comes with a king sized bed of fries. My friend got the regular pulled pork, and it was pretty good if not a little dry. A good helping of sauce took care of that nicely. My own sandwich was a bit more tender and I think a little fattier, meaning less dry. At each table they have four BBQ sauces, regular, hot, mildly vinegar based, and very vinegar based. Not a huge fan of Carolina style BBQ myself, I went with the slightly thicker classic sauce and before I knew it I finished the whole thing. I should warn you, if your stomach doesn't agree with greasier or fattier foods this may not be the sandwich for you, but if not what are you out getting pulled pork sandwich for in the first place? The service was friendly and the atmosphere nice if not a little hodgepodge. They really like their antique chicken feed signs there. If you don't mind an eye patched taxidermy warthog looking down at you as you eat, the One Eyed Pig is a nice place for something a little different in the way of BBQ.
