About this stop
Bum’s pairs eastern whole hog with a steam-table vegetable board that still feels like a small-town meat-and-three, a short walk from Skylight Inn on Third Street.
It is a practical double-stop with Skylight when you want both the cleaver room and a broader plate of sides in the same Ayden afternoon.
