People often say shopping for groceries while hungry is a bad idea. Well, the folks at the Piggly Wiggly in Leland would beg to differ.

They do things a bit different at the little grocery store just over the bridge from Wilmington.

The big difference? That's clear as soon you walk in the door: The unmistakable hickory aroma from the in-house smoked meats

The store has partnered with the franchise company SmokeRise to provide sumptuous barbecue. Beef brisket, ribs, pulled pork, hams, chickens – the deli counter at this grocery store is a barbecue lover's dream.

This melding of barbecue and grocer happened in Leland just over a year ago, with Lou Gizzi taking the helm over the pit.
