: Hungry fans are drawn to John Rivers’ prized pulled pork, ribs and all sorts of sides. Angus brisket is smoked 18 hours with mild-spiced dry rub, while the burnt ends sandwich is exactly what it sounds like with its charred bits from both pork and beef. From smoked chicken to sausage and smoked turkey, Rivers covers it all in the kitchen. More than a dozen sides, such as grilled jalapeños wrapped in bacon, cheese grits, fried okra, sweet potato casserole and more, add up to your basic Southern extravaganza. If you dare, save room for the banana pudding. Other locations.
