The Spotted Pig - Fair Play, SC

Just over the Georgia line in Fair Play, South Carolina, is the most interesting and delicious sandwich that I have ever encountered. The Spotted Pig has quite the following, but you have to catch them when they are open. Thursday through Sunday (only 5 hours on Sunday!) is the only time that you can get through the doors. The parking lot is big and it is usually full.

When you walk into this restaurant, you know that you are about to get messy. There are sinks and paper towels available in the middle of the dining area for you to try and get the sauce off.

If you have never been here before, there is only one thing to order......The Double D. It is two sandwiches in one, smashed between three pieces of garlic toast. It starts with an awesome brisket sandwich with red sauce and dill pickles on the bottom half. It is finished with a pulled pork sandwich on the top, complete with slaw, bread n' butter pickles, and Carolina mustard sauce. I cannot even begin to tell you how insanely tasty that this sandwich is. All of those flavors at once is just incredible.

If you find yourself near Lake Hartwell or are passing through on your way North to Charlotte, swing by and try this place. It's just off of Exit 1 and it might even be open when you stop by.
