The western part of NC is best known for "Lexington style" ribs,
which don't appeal to me. On you way up, take I-70 in and have a
plate of pulled pork and veggies at Barbecue Lodge or Don Murray's
in Raleigh. If you're near Rocky Mount, consider Gardners, which
is an icon of the Eastern NC style as well. Going on west to
Ashville, another great place is Stamy's in Greensboro. The last
time I was there, they were still cooking with ONLY wood coals.

Heck, since you won't be going on over to Memphis, stop at Red Hot
and Blue in Raleigh for their interpretation of Memphis style
(dry) ribs. If you are still hungry, go back to Barbecue Lodge
and get a plate of chicken livers and gizzards. Send some to me.
