If consuming pork at the start of a new year ensures good luck and prosperity, then a Carolina-style pulled pork sandwich from Grumpy's Bar-B-Que in Mechanicsville has got you covered. This eat-with-two-hands sandwich starts with dry rub-seasoned pork butt hickory smoked overnight (at least 10 hours) until it's tender and falling off the bone. Then it's carefully pulled apart, piled high on a big ol' Kaiser roll and topped with fresh house-made coleslaw. Personalize by adding one of Grumpy's signature barbeque sauce options available on each table for your pouring pleasure. This Southern-style sandwich is inspired by owner and long-time barbeque enthusiast Mike “Grumpy” Grimm's love of Cajun cooking and everything spicy. “I'm not afraid of spice,” Grumpy (who really is very nice) says. Cayenne pepper, chipotle and smoked paprika are among his standby heat-makers showcased on, as Grumpy puts it, “the purest barbeque menu around.”
