Found this newish bbq joint in Joplin, MO and checked it out this weekend. So worth the trip and time. Little Pigs, put it on your lunch list when traveling the I-44 or Route 66. In fact it is located on the original route through Joplin. Go straight for the burnt ends. This is not competition be's but what I can think was the original version of this delicacy. They only sauce a little bit, make their own sauce and that is the only sauce, unless you just have to have ketchup. Dominic, the guy who owns the place is from KC and cooks KC style bbq. One reason I like his be"s is they contain bark. In the meantime, it is supposed to snow overnight. I was out earlier and it smelt like snow. I might be involved in a snowball fight later tomorrow with a 3 year old. Can't wait.
