Underestimating its size we had the <cite>Chili and Cheddar Fries<\/cite> (described as <cite>Our ancho beef chuck chili over hand-cut, twice cooked fries with our grated 2-year-raw-milk Vermont cheddar<\/cite>, as seen above) for an appetizer. It was very good, but unexpectedly large. I think we both expected to receive half as much food.<\/p>\n<p>Danielle then ordered the <cite>BBQ Pork Entree<\/cite> with the <cite>Eastern North Carolina Vinegar BBQ Sauce<\/cite> (described as <cite>Now using Chef Alex&#8217;s Cornman Farms hogs, direct from Dexter. Traditional whole hog barbeque made with local hogs delivered direct from the farm. It&#8217;s pit smoked for 14 hours, hand pulled, chopped and blended with your choice of barbeque sauce. Served with mashed local potatoes and Southern-style braised greens<\/cite>) which can be seen here: <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/moblog\/IMG_20100717_151741.jpg.html\">photo<\/a>.
