Everything’s Made From Scratch
Nick Pihakis and his father, Jim, opened the first Jim ‘N Nick’s barbecue joint more than 25 years ago in Birmingham, Alabama. Known for a commitment to quality and an everything-made-from-scratch philosophy, the barbecue chain has now grown to more than 30 restaurants. Barbecue purists may scoff at the idea of a multi-unit chain, but this one lives up to the hype with a focus on traditional low-and-slow cooking methods, fresh ingredients (you won’t even find a freezer in the kitchen), heritage hog breeds and incredible pulled pork. Hickory-smoked for more than 14 hours, the pork shoulder is as good as it gets (their pulled-pork sandwich was named to Southern Living‘s list of best pork sandwiches), but the cheese biscuits are reason enough to make a pit stop.
