Eat This Podcast: A Restaurant’s Reckoning

Is it OK to eat at Piggie Park?

Hello

There’s a school of thought that says we should judge the art, not the artist. Is the same true for restaurants?

Piggie Park serves barbecue in South Carolina. The man who started it was an out-and-out racist white supremacist, subject to boycotts because he refused to serve Black people long after the Civil Rights Act. His sons have been running the business for 15 years, and removed most of the offensive memorabilia. But the question remains, is it OK to eat at Piggie Park?

Judge for yourself

All the best
