I don’t know who started it but someone tweeted about BBQ on twitter today & it sent off a tweet sound wave of who has the best BBQ in their home state. @Abbyladybug on twitter has some of the tweets on her blog here. Now I’m hungry; what’s the best place BBQ in NC?
admin
@hughlh – I have tried, I really have. But I just cannot dig the NC B-B-Que. But then again, I am from Memphis, where Que is a religion. —- @jessmartin – @hughlh until you’ve had Texas BBQ, you haven’t had the real thing. Why do east coasters even use the same word? —- @BrianR – @jessmartin Blasphemy Sir! NC BBQ is THE one true holy pork!

After watching this BBQ debate transpire on my twitter feed for the past two hours, I have no craving for BBQ whatsoever. I’m kind of surprised by that.

I like SmithField BBQ and there’s a small BBQ place in Goldsboro that some say is the best in NC.

In the Triangle, ‘d go with Old Time Barbecue in Raleigh and Danny’s Bar-B-que http://www.dannysbarbque.com/
In Charlotte, I’d recommend Bubba’s.

A year ago I would have said that Wilbur’s is the best – but Ed Mitchell, their former pitmaster is now running the show at The Pit here in downtown Raleigh. The idea of an upscale BBQ joint causes me some cognitive dissonance, but the BBQ at the Pit is some of the best I’ve had. I run over there for lunch at least once a week.
Of course, if you want *real* NC BBQ, you have to find a burly guy in overalls cooking a pig in a cut up oil drum. There’s a guy fitting that description who brings his rig out to Fantasy Lake for SCUBA events sometimes, and his ‘Cue is hard to beat.

I love just about any and all bbq, and related foods. I prefer the vinegar based sauces to mustard-based and pork ribs over beef ribs. There’s nothing better than slow cooking a pork butt on the Weber Smoker for 8-12 hours.

Any of the places on the NC BBQ Society’s historic BBQ trail should be a good stop. In the Triangle, you’ll want to hit up Allen & Son’s in Chapel Hill.

I’m not a fan of BBQ (well, the “sauce”)… The only ribs I *somewhat* like are dry rub. The curse of a picky eater.

The best BBQ I’ve had in NC was at a block party where a neighbor of ours slow cooked an entire pig for the whole day in a smoker, then chopped it up and dumped it on my plate when I walked up. I had to bring my own sauce though, they only had vinegar.

Yes! Please tell me where to go in Raleigh or at least the Triangle. When I went to that place on Chatham, there was MSG in the sauce. HELLO! No thank you!
I did have good NC BBQ once at a private event where there was a pitmaster.
