The News & Observer (May 12, 2025) - “A stop at Sam Jones is the quickest way to earn your North Carolina barbecue bonafides. Here it’s all Eastern-style whole hog, with the smoky pork chopped with cleavers and dressed with a peppery vinegar sauce. The Jones family signature is mixing in crispy pork skin for a satisfying crunch amid the tender meat.”
