The BBQ Atlas
Bum's Restaurant does Eastern North Carolina barbecue the way it's meant to be done — wood cooked, no apologies.
Bum's Restaurant sits on 3rd Street in Ayden and cooks in the Eastern North Carolina style. Wood fire, straightforward work, the kind of place that doesn't need to explain itself.
