North Carolina by the numbers

..not the kind of “North Carolina by the numbers that you might expect”. But, I thought a little non-sports discussion wouldn’t be a bad thing as we are only one week from the football season. If you are Jonesing for more sports talk then you should definitely click here.

    Lexington BBQ rules

    Eastern over Lex any day. I live in West but NCSU is in the east. And the red – vinegar based slaw is best too. But I’ll take both over SC mustard or those other strange creations outside of NC.

    I find it remarkable that 61,137 males gave birth in 2012.
    Take that, Sam Ervin.

    since Wake county just reached 1,000,000 in population,
    does that mean (carry the three) ~10% of NC is in Wake?

    I don’t think there’s much doubt that NC has the nation’s best pork barbeque.

    As for which restaurant or style is best, try Lexington Barbeque (#1) in Lexington and Wilber’s Barbeque in Goldsboro. It doesn’t get any better than these two.

    Stamey’s in Greensboro, Parker’s or Bill’s in Wilson, Red Bridges in Shelby, and B’s in Greenville are also worth a stop.

    Here in the Apex area, I still miss OT’s hushpuppies.

    if you’re over fifty… anything you don’t like about North Carolina’s numbers…

    you can probably trace back to our own… the Honorable JBH, Jr.

    aka in “some” places Down East as “TulipLips”.

    I’m kind of surprised that there are more Duke fans (18%) than State fans (15%). I graduated high school in 1974 and I can’t remember more than 2 kids who called Duke their favorite team. It must be all the newcomers over the last 30 years who have jumped on the Duke bandwagon.

    Not to mention our bandwagon breaking an axle about 25 yrs ago.

    ya’ll ain’t going to believe this…

    I cooked some chopped Q for about 40 people (’bout 25lbs) two Saturdays past…

    One OldBeltBaccaFarrmer (my uncle who’s been cooking Q for about 70 years )…
    ‘complained’ that it was ‘a little smoky’…

    Of course… he didn’t say ‘nuttin ’bout my sauce…
    cause the sauce ain’t Eastern or Lexington… it’s a F1 hybrid (both)….

    And yes.. he’s a State Grad(’56) who can and will tell ‘ya what’s wrong with anything…

    Ha!

    Best chopped Q between Jacksonville, Calabash and Wallace is in my backyard…
    just ask anybody (other than my Uncle)…

    Eastern vs. Western BBQ? Whichever one I can get in my mouth at the time.
