The Pig in a Prom Dress sandwich with a warm Carolina vinegar sauce is stellar, and for dessert, a big-as-my-toddler's-face Butterfinger and chocolate chip cookies. They're on the crunchy side, and they taste like butter and brown sugar had a baby.

Who would have thought a little out-of-the-way restaurant would hold such treasures? We went straight for the hamachi and uni. What a pleasant surprise!
