In the rich annals of American regional cuisine, nothing quite measures up to barbecue in Memphis, Tennessee. Whether it’s finger-licking ribs or a pulled pork sandwich, southerners do love their barbecues.
For those who live in the Lower Mainland and are passionate about good old southern fare, there’s The Dancing Pig BBQ & Taps in the quaint village of Ladner. Arrive here on most any day of the week and you'll find this Memphis-inspired eatery doing brisk business as the wafting aromas of southern comfort food draw a crowd and fight for your attention.
This was exactly what owner Andrea Frutasci had in mind when he opened the upbeat, casual eatery in December 2014 with executive chef Brent Fahl.
“We wanted to bring that Nashville goodness to Ladner,” says Andrea. “The Dancing Pig is all about the best bacon, barbecue, craft beer and a great selection of bourbons.”
