At Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint, to go "whole hog" literally means roasting a 200-pound hog in its entirety. The meat is hit with a signature blend of spices, then cooked over hickory wood for 24 hours, which Michael Symon said results in “the perfect bite of pork.” Michael’s favorite order is the whole hog platter accompanied by sides such as the bacon-studded broccoli salad and onion-flecked hushpuppies. The succulent meat also serves as the filling for the sliders, which made Guy Fieri a fan. He called the pork “beyond juicy and moist and flavorful.”
This trip Guy's heading out for pork a plenty. In Nashville, a barbecue joint that's smoking the whole hog. In Bellevue, Ky., a local cafe making andouille sausage from scratch. And in Long Beach, Calif., a neighborhood favorite where they're stuffing honey-marinated pork chops with granny smiths and cranberries.
