What you need to know to score a reservation to this well-kept secret fine dining experience (and psst… it’s only $15!).
Head an hour Southeast of Charlotte on US-74 on any given Saturday morning, and you’ll likely spot a small red building billowing smoke with a long line out its doors (but blink and you’ll miss it, because it is a small spot – don’t worry, you can always make a U-Turn). Jon G’s Barbecue opened …
