These little piggies wallow in barbecue sauce, not mud, and on plates, not in pens. Backwoods rustica meets contempo casual style in this chain of northern restaurants serving Southern food. The specialty of the house is, of course, barbecued pulled pork, served on a platter or on a bun. And then there's the "hog stack": a gigundo sandwich that features grilled pork loin topped with bacon (yes, more pork!), cheese, onions, coleslaw and a hockey-puck-size onion ring. But flavor options here aren't limited to barbecued meats. Diners can snack on a very reasonably priced salmon salad, prepared with Oriental dressing and mandarin oranges to add an exotic touch. Desserts live up to the precedent established by the main dishes: They're plentiful in portion and highly caloric in content. There's a down-home appeal to the glazed pineapple upside-down cake, but a slab of peanut butter pie could be equally satisfying for those who seek a sugar high.
