Thank you, Dave, for revealing the history of the Pig Stands. Besides being the first drive-ins in the U.S., including Oklahoma, the Pig Stands were also the "inventors" of such great foods we all love such as Texas Toast, chicken fried steak, and onion rings. They also created the concept of hanging the neon pig signs seen in front of nearly every BBQ joint across America today. Following the opening of the first Pig stand in 1924, my grandfather, Hubert D. Marsh, a Pig Stand franchise owner, later opened additional Pig Stands in Norman (delivery only), Capitol Hill, NW 23rd & Western, and his last location was at 18th and N. Broadway (he later changed the name to "Marsh's" as the Pig Stand franchise was discontinued in the mid-1930's). For an original pig sandwich, I recommend Bob's Pig Shop in Pauls Valley. Be sure to check their hours before driving down there.
You’re just traveling to all of my old haunts. Being from Pauls Valley, of course I’m partial to Bob’s pig sandwich. Nostalgia’s always worth an extra star!
Van’s is my absolute favorite bbq restaurant, and the only place that has sweet pickle relish to add to their saucy sandwich.
