What happened after Man v. Food?
Mean Pig BBQ was featured on the show's Little Rock-area episode that aired 2009-11-25, spotlighting its smoked, hickory-cooked barbecue and a spicy pulled-pork eating challenge the restaurant calls its 'Shut Up Juice' special. The restaurant is a family-owned barbecue business that, according to its own website, has operated since 1997, known for chopped pork sandwiches, ribs, and a smoked brisket plate. Although the show's episode listed the restaurant under Little Rock, its address is in the neighboring town of Cabot, Arkansas, about a twenty-minute drive away. A Yelp listing for the Cabot location, updated 2026-06, shows more than 140 reviews and a posted schedule of Monday-through-Saturday hours from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
