'PiG PiCKiN' CaRoLiNa BaRBeQue aT THe BeaCH

Today was one of those days that the call of good carolina pork barbeque was too strong for even me to resist :o)

To the rescue comes one of my favorite barbeque takeouts in Virginia Beach. Malbon Bros. http://www.malbonbrothersbbq.com/, located off of Culver Drive and General Booth Blvd, has a delicious deal too good to not take advantage of. Their 'Piggy Pack' includes 1.5 lbs of carolina pulled pork, 1 lb. of their special baked beans, 1 lb. of their cole slaw and an entire 12 oz. bottle of their special BBQ sauce(alone this retails for $5.49) for around $17 plus tax. They now have 2 varieties of BBQ sauce to chose from, my favorite, which was also the sauce of choice today, was 'Pig Picklin' Billy's BBQ Sauce'. A fantastic blend of that vinegar, spice and downright delicious southern flavor we come to expect from a barbeque sauce. The other sauce, I was told, is slightly more vinegary and a little bit hotter than the original. Since I hadn't been there in a while and my cravings are specific, I decided not to 'reinvent the wheel' and stuck with the original. The beauty of this is it still leaves an opening to return to sample the other sauce :o) Perfect for one of those days when you want to leave the heavy duty cooking to the fine folks at Malbon Bros., continuing this fine culinary tradition daily. This delicious combination of excellent pulled pork, creamy cole slaw, slightly tangy sauce with a side of barbeque baked beans...hard to resist!



Whether is barbecue or barbeque, Malbon Bros. does it right! Just add bread and a hungry family, leave the rest to them :o). For under $20, you can feed a hungry family of four, a nice alternative to pizza or drive thru burgers.



Of course I took some photos... how could I not? If you ever find yourself in that neck of the woods, stop on in and give it a try! It's the best gas station food this side of the CBBT, I wouldn't steer you wrong!
