The first thing one will notice about the Peg Leg Porker barbecue restaurant is its name, which derived from owner Carey Bringle, who survived an aggressive form of bone cancer that took his right leg. This experience caused Bringle to change his world outlook and seize every opportunity that he could. Having competed in many BBQ competitions in his life, he opened up Peg Leg Porker under the motto "Limpin' ain't easy." Of course, the restaurant has taken off because of the food, not the story. Bringle has cooked at the James Beard House and helps raise funds for pediatric cancer research.
