Carolina BBQ anyone?

[cableguy]

Since Kam will be bringing wings I thought I would bring 20 pounds Premium Fuzzy's Carolina BBQ. No need to take orders, I'm just going to bring it along and share with the group. All we will need are some burger buns and a couple of chafers.

[Strawman]

Sounds good, hopefully there will be some leftovers for Saturday. :D

[Sandy G]

I do hope you Damyankees & Canucks and all other similarly deprived species will get to try this- there is bbq & then there is Carolina Barbecue....Kinda like the difference between "Lightning Bug" & "Lightning"....another reminder of the Innate Superiority of the South....<grin>

[Punker X]

What about the slaw..

[luvvinvinyl]

Sounds great to me!
(..but I'm just one of them damn canuckleheads!)

[yamahammer]

newfoundlander canuckle head eh???? i represent that remark and my momma will too I miss the great white north 50 weeks out of the year but for two i'm in heaven see ya this summer

[luvvinvinyl]

If you're a Newfie, shouldn't your sig line read: :zippity doo dah zippity eh what a wonderful day !!

Eh?

[cableguy]

Of course there'll be slaw :yes: I grab a couple of buckets.
Are the Newfies going to bring seal fin pie :D

[grumpy]

Hell yeah ! Save me some :)

Yeh, they do that pretty good in Carolina too, but they never confuse it with barbecuing.

[rocdad]

That would be the difference. In the South, BBQ is a noun. The North uses it as a verb.

Nobody in N. Carolina would say, "let's barbeque." It would be, "Let's smoke a pig."

There are also about five different styles of BBQ in N. Carolina. To say that you like one over another can start a fight. So just smile and nod when you taste it.

Excellent point, what I'm bringing is Fuzzy's "lexington" or tomato based BBQ. Fuzzy's has been doing BBQ in Rockingham county for over 50 years.......but that said, it's only one of a couple of distinct BBQ's from N. Carolina

Hmmm. On that note, I'll just say y'all enjoy and let it go.

The other type is Eastern NC BBQ or "vinegar based" , not my favorite...... :no:

[grumpy]

Dont forget the Sweet tea :)

[Strawman]

I like anything that's tomato based, except for Ketchup, or Catsup, whatever the hell it is, call me weird!

[Urizen]

In SC, where I was raised, the mustard based version rules, esp. on poultry.

If you ever have a chance to try Maurices' Piggy Park sauce, by all means do so. It is fanfriggin'tastic. :thmbsp:

Or make your own, by my "secret recipe":

2 cups prepared mustard
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1 medium Vidalia or other sweet onion, minced
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ground white pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper

Combine ingredients in sauce pan and simmer, stirring frequently, until onions and garlic are tender.

Great on pork & chicken.

Oh yeah! :yes:

Any of you boys ever bother to come visit yer ol' Unca Sandy, if you're REAL good, I MIGHT be disposed to take you to the Ridgewood near Piney Flats, Tennessee...They have some of the best BBQ, beef AND pork, you ever put in yr mouth. Their fries are to die for, too-actual potato strips fried to a golden brown. Place is a "hole-in-the-wall' along the side of the road, very unassuming looking. You wonder why such a small place has a HUGE parking lot...Wait till about 6.30 PM on a Sat nite & you'll find out...

[fotno]

Sandy reminded me of this joint we have down here called Smokey Creek BBQ.

The first time anybody took me there, I was convinced they were dragging me off to kill me, and wanted to do it where nobody'd ever find the body but the buzzards. The directions to this extablishment honestly include the words; "Now after you leave the paved road"... It's over a mile of rutted goat trail till you pull up in front of this huge barn with a parking lot big enough to hold the entire audience of a '71 WHO concert.

Great food, atmosphere like the Ryman Auditorium in 1939, and the worlds worst country house band (by the name of - I swear to God - The Can't Hardly Playboys). It's a cool place, and the catfish and BBQ are very good.

Two MAJOR food groups in my world.

Could be three. Salt, sugar, and grease. All that's left is wiskey. Then you will have the complete Southern balanced diet.

[tentoze]

There's NO sugar anywhere near my barbecue.

You will need the sweet tea then.

I'm with you there brother - Can't stand that sickly sweet kind of BBQ.

[grumpy]

Then neither of you would like Chi Town BBQ :)

[stormy]

Hello all,
I'm only chiming in because I just received another case of some BBQ I discovered passing through South Carolina - Maurice's Carolina Gold BBQ really rocks on grilled chicken, ribs, etc... very unique (at least for me).

My early years, I grew up on Memphis BBQ. Leonard's! Hmmmmm! Texas has some fine BBQ too as does Kansas. I've never had Carolina BBQ before. I might trade you a wing for summa' that!! :D

[Billfort]

For you Memphis guys, what is the name of the BBQ place across the road from BB King's on Beale?

Been in there a few times and love the BBQ (the Blues next door can be pretty damn good too).

[cableguy]

Is 20 #'s going to be enough :scratch2:.....when I get in on Friday AM, I have to talk to the hotel kitchen and see about a chafer or two and the use of an oven. Wings and BBQ mmmmmm :yes: The other thing is are there any hot sauce fans in the crowd? I have some great "home brew" hot sauce that I plan on bringing along. I have 6 cases of pint jars of this stuff so if anyone would like I could being a case along and pass them on to yooz guys. BTW, it's pretty hot, made from a mixture of Habenero & Chipotle.

[gonzp]

Count me in on the BBQ!!!!

[2DualsNotEnough]

When I lived in Georgia,it seemed like the best barbeque joints werent actually joints,but big barrel bbq grills set up on the side of the road next to the woods.Whenever my wife and I were road tripping,the car would skid to a full dead stop when Id see the guy in overalls and huge sides of ribs.

[Kegger]

Hey I was gunna do my part and at least pick up a bottle!

What is the consensus, Bourbon or Scotch?

I was thinking Johnny black if I went scotch or something like 100 proof grandad or turkey?
I only do 100 proof or better when it comes to bourbon.

[NOSValves]

Man you guy's are making me hungry.........

[Strawman]

I just now poured some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce on some ribs. It's 70 degrees and the grille is jamming! Damned Yankees. :thmbsp: How's this, see ya'll in a couple of days?

Put a bottle of Henry McKenna on top of your head and your tongue will beat your brains out trying to get to it.

Unfortunately, I was banned from attending after last year. Apparently, putting a blooming onion on my head and table-dancing to Johnny-B-Good at Outback Steakhouse (much to the horror of BrianB, Gilbert Yeung, and reyneman) was a little over the top. And later that evening, single-handedly leaving 214 empty beer bottles in Grumpy's listening room didn't help my case much.

Me neither. It's for nostalgic reasons. When I was at Ft. Campbell we would mix it with a bit of grape juice. Called it "purple jesus". The next day somebody would ask "Jesus, what did we drink last night"? 190 proof baby!
It will also give you the Zackly's. You mouth tastes zackly like your feet. :D
