Man, you're making me hungry!  I haven't had good NC bbq since my aunt and 
uncle moved out of the Raleigh-Durham area (whew, he finally graduated!), but 
now I'm wishing I had a good excuse to drive up there!

Cee

  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.  

    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Eastern-North-Carolina-BBQ-Sauce/Detail.aspx 

    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!!!!
