They say here in NC that it's the best. I'm from NY and BBQ is something you do not something you eat. Due to it's popularity 'round these parts I find it very offensive and vile. Not because it actually is but just because everybody thinks it's the best thing in the world. I think Italian Sausage is leaps and bound better than all of it. Thanks for listening.
Much better than arguing about politics.
Someone said it before -- good 'cue is all about WOOD!
My favorite place, considered the mecca of Eastern NC barbecue (not Western! totally different animal) is Wilber's in Goldsboro.
Here's a pic of the grilling area. Note the SMOKE!
They're roasting the meat -- whole hog -- under the plates on the left. The space on the right is for overflow for when they know it's going to be busy.
You can drive their anytime of the day or night and they have the fire going. They do up 'cue right. If you're ever in that neck of the woods, check it out.
What I can't figure out is why South Carolina doesn't have any particular claim in this game. What are they making?

uke:Don't feel bad, next state over the Hoosiers are keen on fried brain sandwiches.

You would think the limited supply would have killed that fad.
A business trip to LaGrange? When you drive by there on US 70, it doesn't look like there's anything there at all.Had to make a business trip to LaGrange NC Tuesday. On the way back, stopped at Wilbers for an early dinner.
Good example of the Eastern NC style.
Something a little different about the fries there, very good.
Very good hushpuppies too. And of course, excellent sweet tea.

I like the tea at Wilbers, but it's almost too sweet for me. I'll typically order unsweetened there and dump Splenda in it. My favorite iced tea is at Stephenson's BBQ at McGee's Crossroads (exit 319 off of I-40). They also have some of the best fries ever. And good 'cue.
I haven't tried the place in Greenville on Wade Hampton, but on my next trip there, I will!
