It will be different - but good.
 
BTW - another local thing they do is make a special cole slaw that is put on sandwiches.  I've had it on pork and shrimp sandwiches.  I first I thought it was wierd and did not do it.  But after trying it - it was awesome.   
 
So if you can get some slaw on that eastern NC BBQ sandwich - take it.

I plan to be in Raleigh next weekend with my daughter to surprise my dad for his 70th bday. If all agree, maybe we will hit The Pit and I will report back.

I might can share some insight on North Carolina BBQ and Ed Mitchell, "THE PIT" from Raleigh, NC.  Although I have never been to "The Pit" there are many places around like his. 
 
BBQ in North Carolina is considered a delicacy like wines are to some other people.  By the taste of the BBQ you can often tell where in the state the BBQ was made.  People take BBQ VERY SERIOUSLY in NC. 
 
If you had to pick the capital of "eastern NC BBQ" it would be Wilson, NC where Ed is from.
 
Eastern NC BBQ is a mixture of vinegar and peppers - with a few other minor spices thrown in. 
 
 
If you are use to a tomato based BBQ sauce - this is a shock at first.  However, I've learned to love both types.  
Eastern NC BBQ is always pork, rarely pork ribs.  Usually whole hog.   Usually not smoked - just cooked.  You can take just the pork shoulder and cook it this way.  The sauce can be held towards the end and mixed in. 
 
After it is cooked - it is either chopped or pulled and then the sauce is mixed in. 
 
I would summarize it as - good - but different. 
 
So if you are traveling down I-95 and around mid North Carolina decide that you want to stop for some BBQ - be prepared - because often they'll look at you funny if you ask for tomato based BBQ sauce.  Usually all they have is vinegar / pepper based.

 . . .  but since we have had discussions and debates on food, and particularly on barbecue (some even exchanging recipes), I just wanted to let anyone who might be interested know where I’ll be spending a large portion of the weekend after next (when I am not watching the U.S.A. kick England’s butt in soccer).
 
 
 
 
Click on the PITMASTERS/FOOD link at the top to take a look at the eighteen pitmasters who will be cooking.  Does anyone know anything about any of these guys and their restaurants?
 
Thank you.
 
 
Go Gators!!!!
