"A nearly century-old smokehouse in Surry, Virginia supplies top NYC restaurants like Eleven Madison Park and Momofuku Ssäm Bar with pork products such as dry-cured, hickory-smoked country ham, but its main location burned down three years ago and, amid a dispute with its insurance company and a fraud lawsuit by owner Sam Wallace Edwards III, it may be forced to shutter; a court hearing slated to kick off today could determine NYC’s smoked pork future." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
