The take

Barbecue as a chef's second act: a Freedom Drive smokehouse where Texas-style technique and Carolina hog tradition share the pits. There's a stall at Optimist Hall too, but this is the mothership.

What to order: Get the Creekstone Farms brisket — the Texas-style centerpiece of the whole operation.
