If you want to try some Eastern Carolina BBQ, King's in Kinston, NC has a
web site http://www.kingsbbq.com/, you can order from there, they will ship
it FedEx overnight!
(I am not affiliated with the company in any other way than being a very
well satisfied customer - I lived in New Bern, NC for years, about 30 miles
from Kinston. New Bern has Moore's BBQ, Greenville has Parker's. I live in
Chesapeake, VA now, and several of the men in our church make excellent ENC
style BBQ.
To get this somewhat on topic, I tend to prefer a fairly bold Cab or Shiraz
with my BBQ.
