Menu Highlights

From chopped pork by the pound to family packs that feed a crowd, everything starts on the pit and ends with a clean plate.

Meet Our Kin

The spirit of August Swine comes from real folks - the pit masters, farmers, and storytellers whose names still echo around the smoker.

BIG DADDY

The patriarch in the truest sense of the word. This father of 12, single handedly lifted his family and taught us all to succeed. For many he was the Barber, Dentist, Carpenter, Bible thumping Preacher, Farmer, Butcher and most famously, The “Pit Master”.

“I been stokin coals and moppin meat since I was knee high to a duck.”

UNCLE JAMES

One of six boys and he was the tightest. He didn’t share much and he was known to squeeze two nickels to make a dime.

“I hope Big Momma put up some leftovers before Big Bill get here.”

BIG BILL

They say he was a gnats hair shy of 14 pounds when he was born. The midwife told Big Momma, “Another one like dat could kill ya”. I seen him eat 24 ears of fried corn and sleep like a log.

“This food so good, I wish I had two stomachs.”

UNCLE HENRY

He was the “Deacon”. Strong, tall and the quiet type. Those that knew leaned in to listen when he spoke. Those that didn’t know learned. I don’t care how sunny the day, if you stood side him, you stood in the shade.

“Slow down Boy. Dat bone need a break.”

UNCLE CLARENCE

Now comes our dignitary. South Georgia couldn’t hold him. As a classically trained chef, he widens our exposure and refined his craft in Chicago’s best restaurants. Mentioning his name still carries weight on Lakeshore Drive.

“Hey big fella, it’s naked if it ain’t wearin my meat dressin.”
