Full Article

Anyone who saves a vintage drive-in is a hero in our book. Bennett Chinn, whose been running a little barbecue joint called When Pigs Fly in Sharon, CT, recently took over the old Mabbettsville Dairy Cream and started serving Memphis and St.Louis ribs ($19.95 for a full rack), pulled pork sandwiches ($6.95), along with hamburgers ($3.95), hot dogs ($1.95) and French fries ($1.75). Everything is served in to-go containers but there are weathered picnic tables on the adjacent lawn where you can dine. Chinn’s CIA training is evident in sides like collard greens and cole slaw that are full of flavor. And if you have happy summer memories of stopping here for ice cream on your way to or from the nearby Taconic State Parkway, When Pigs Fly South is thankfully still serving soft serve cones ($1.95 for a small) as well as hand-scooped ice cream from the estimable SoCo Creamery. —Dan Shaw
