..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 a

08/22/2014 at 4:39 PM #54372Pack85EEParticipantEastern 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.

Take that, Sam Ervin.08/22/2014 at 5:35 PM #54374Pack78ParticipantLexington is good, but Eastern rules…
08/22/2014 at 6:32 PM #54375john of spartaParticipantsince Wake county just reached 1,000,000 in population,
does that mean (carry the three) ~10% of NC is in Wake?08/22/2014 at 6:58 PM #5437613OTParticipantI 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.

you can probably trace back to our own… the Honorable JBH, Jr.
aka in “some” places Down East as “TulipLips”.

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.

That doesn’t surprise me.
08/23/2014 at 8:11 AM #54383freshmanin83ParticipantWhat is this Lexington style BBQ of which you speak?
08/23/2014 at 9:18 AM #54387bill.onthebeachParticipantya’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)…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!08/23/2014 at 9:36 AM #54389pakfanistanParticipantThat is relevant to my interests, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
08/23/2014 at 3:33 PM #54391highstickParticipantI can cook good Eastern NC BBQ in South Carolina…I’m still waiting on a good football team at NC State ‘cepting the White Shoes and the Cowdog era…
“Tulip Lips”? Holy Cowabunga! I always called him “Mush Mouth”!

08/25/2014 at 4:54 PM #5444044rulesParticipantEastern vs. Western BBQ? Whichever one I can get in my mouth at the time.
