Rick,
I'm a native of Goldsboro, NC (not too far from Wilson) and can recommend
Parker's as well. Like David says, pork IS the only real BBQ.
You could also travel the 20 or so miles to Goldsboro and try Wilbur's BBQ
on Highway 70 near Seymour Johnson AFB. Keep a look out for low-flying
planes since it's not too far from the end of the runway!
Congrats to your son!

Since you're going to drive all the way over to North Carolina (which you =
of course just HAVE to do if you're on a legitimate barbecue tour), I =
recommend Bob Melton's BBQ in Rocky Mount... although I'm not sure that =
they rebuilt since one of the hurricanes flooded them out. If that place =
is gone, you'll have to make do with Jim Gardner's BBQ on Hwy 301 where =
that town is concerned. Since you're on Hwy 301 in Rocky Mount anyway, =
drive twenty miles or so south to Wilson, NC for Parker's BBQ. Order =
"family style". Highly recommended, and there hasn't been a President =
through there in years who hasn't stopped to eat. (The Secret Service =
agents leave with bags of takeout.) You can't go wrong with any of those =
three, so long as you realize that pork BBQ is the only REAL BBQ... a fact
=
no one will tell you until you get past Louisiana. Have fun on the trip.
-D
P.S. Since you're that close, you might as well get over to Nags Head for
=
the beach.

My son just graduated from HS, and will leave for the Marines in October.
Sometime between now and then, he and I are going to drive cross-country =
on
a BBQ tour. We'll start and end in Seattle, but we intend to hit all of =
the
areas of the country famous for BBQ: Texas, Louisiana, the rest of the
South, North Carolina, Memphis, Chicago, and Kansas City.
We're still planning the specifics, and here's where all y'all come in:
I would love to know THE places to go in your part of the country =
(assuming
it's one I mentioned above - this will be almost entirely SOUTH of the
Mason-Dixon line) for outstanding BBQ, whether they're famous or a
hole-in-the-wall. We'll stay away from big chains for the most part (we
have Famous Dave's up here), unless it is a local/regional one with a good
local reputation.
Thanks in advance for sharing!
Rick
