If you Google World's Largest Frying Pan, it says permanently closed. However, you can still go visit. It just has the tarp over the pan so you can't physically see it except for the handle.

Loved stumbling on this RA attraction. I bet the fried chicken is delicious.

Not sure why all the critics. This thing is legit and any town that boasts on their welcome to our town sign, "Home of the world's largest frying pan" is a must stop for us.
[LouieLandAdventures, 07/10/2019]Nothing to see. The frying pan is all boarded up. Guess you have to be there for the annual event -- if they even still have it!
[Barbara, 06/19/2018]The next North Carolina Poultry Jubilee is scheduled for Nov 2-3, 2018.
My husband and I were on our way back from the beach and decided to swing by a local winery. We saw a sign that declared, "World's Largest Frying Pan," and just had to go see. It sure would fry a lot of chicken! We were the only ones there. One sign said that the pan is used to cook food for a local fundraiser each year. That would be fun to see!
