Jeff Adams and Anne Gorton sit down with the Crystal Coast Podcast to chop it up about Black Sheep Brick Oven Pizza in beautiful Beaufort North Carolina. They break down all things Black Sheep! We also learned a ton about their two businesses right next door to Black Sheep. The Green Room is a craft cocktail bar that serves drinks on a one of a kind bar top created by former guest Grace Bell. Lastly, we have the Bodega that is right between Black Sheep and The Green Room. It's the perfect shop for a great day on the Crystal Coast. They have wine, beer, North Carolina snacks, gifts and anything else you need for a good time! 

About 7 minutes into Anne introducing herself the phone rang in the restaurant so we had stop recording and you'll hear a brief interuption to Anne's train of thought, but I promise you didn't miss anything! 

Please rate and review the podcast wherever you listen to podcast. Please visit Black Sheep, The Green Room and the Bodega in Beaufort and be sure to let them know the Crystal Coast Podcast sent you!
