What do you get when a heritage hog farmer and a pitmaster open a restaurant? Some of the best barbecue in North Carolina!
Along with a cool vibe, you’ll find amazing food at Picnic Barbeque in Durham, North Carolina. Since 2016, Picnic has been serving up traditional barbecue eats and a few surprises you wouldn’t expect.
Picnic specializes in whole hog barbecue. Heritage hog farmer Ryan Butler provides top-quality hogs and pitmaster Wyatt Dickson slow smokes them to perfection.
Pork isn’t all they cook up at Picnic. You’ll also find buttermilk fried chicken, brisket, and fried cod. When the chef feels like creating something with a south of the border flare, smoked enchiladas and tacos will be on special.
What barbecue meal would be complete without sides? Picnic has perfected all the classics like mac and cheese, baked beans, collard greens, and hush puppies.
With all the delicious barbecue, it’ll be almost impossible to save room for dessert. But when you see the tasty treats at Picnic, you’ll want to let your belt out a notch and go for it!
