Bill Spoons Barbecue

Still on the search for quality barbecue here in Charlotte, I wandered into Bill Spoons, a South Avenue restaurant (not a BBQ shack by any means) with fairly good online reviews. Spoons proudly announces that they have been "cooking the whole hog since 1963." What they don't announce is that the hog is not cooked over wood. There is no smoke coming out of Spoons and not much smoke favor in the finely chopped meat, served plain with sauce on the side. But, I do really like their puckery, vinegary slight spicy sauce.
