Those Piedmont Company pig pickin's were freakn awesome. I actually agree with 700 along these lines. I'm not much for pork but Carolina is the king of BBG pork and it is awesome. Especially with slaw.
On the other hand, I found IAM functions usually involve cheap beer and raggety a$$ beef at locals, expensive wine and prime beef at conventions [where those that like the bottle & more, and all the true 'good ole boys' attend about 7 weeks a year].
At any rate, I have'nt been keeping up with this but I presume the lack of ticket sales was a result of a local function and the menu probably had more impact on sales than some suggest. Most people don't want to drop some hard earned cash just to suffer by having to sit on the comode all night and then have to drop a dime on a sick day and not get paid.
