I live in Eastern NC, was born in eastern NC. What is called BBQ varies
GREATLY, even over a 100 mile change in location. The worst stuff I ever had
that was called BBQ was in southern Alabama (they made a point of telling me
that BBQ in Huntsville was "Yankee" made. I eat BBQ at least a couple of
times a month. It is an unpretentious food, most of the long-lasting
restaurants that specialize in it have built a trade over decades, and their
"secret" recipes generall were whatever the founder could find that was low
priced.
Back on topic, I usually either drink a German riesling or sangria with
eastern NC BBQ. I have no idea how this will hold up with other people, but
I like the comgination.
