Actually, I recall having rather good Carolina style Q in Fremont when I was
out there several years ago. The guy that ran the joint came from NC. I
had been out there several months, and it was a little taste of home.

I was in CT last week and it seemed like every restaurant was offering NC
Pulled Pork. What were those Yankees thinking? Just because the stole the
recipe doesn't mean they can make it....:} Sorry, but the worst Q is
probably made somewhere in the Northeast.

You haven't been to my house. I make better than most of what I've had in
the Carolinas. If you are talking commercial stuff, very little of it is
worth trying. We have a place right in my town. Tried most things on the
menu once but have not gone back in over a year.

But that does not invalidate his guess that Puritan decendants adverse to
flavors are more apt to make bad Q. (I know, half my blood family fits this
description, can't cook worth a damn)
Besides, Canadians arent Yankees, now are they? Or are you proclaiming your
Yankeehood here and now there Harry? Bout time, guess those men in black did
their job, have they deciphered the encoded message in your name yet?

There's good and bad BBQ most places, but there's lots of excellent Q here
if you know where to look.

The only place I can think of in Cary that would be acceptable is Danny's.
IMHO, the better Q in the area is to be found in Durham.

Like Greg said, with so many BBQ joints in the Carolina's odds are good that
you're going to get BAD BBQ. Here in Charlotte I can't think of any that I
would recommend where you can sit down and eat, however, there are lots of
really good trailer 'Q - guys that park their rigs in a gas station parking
lot and server passersby.

My favorite time of year is when the Vol Fire Depts. and Churches start
roasting the pig for their fund raisers. That's usually the best BBQ you'll
get all year - 'cepting what you make in your own backyard.

Got to agree. I'm a native Charlotean (very rare) and can attest that there
are no good Q restaurants here. The parking lot guys do a real good job but
Q died in Charlotte when Duck closed Old Original BBQ on Camp Greene Street
many years ago.

Mallard Creek Church BBQ in October and the Poplar Tent Prebyterian BBQ in
March are to die for. Thousands of pounds of Q cooked over hickory and oak
coals by the church members is just great. These pits are hundreds of feet
long and the burn down pits are huge.

I saw one of them last August, can't remember the name, couldn't stop and
sample at the time.

Down here in Lancaster, SC (35 miles south of Charlotte) we tried the local
FD fund raiser. Taste was similar to pig we had at Lexington in Lex. NC, not
much different than if you cooked it in the oven, I wasn't excited. The best
was the outer meat which had a bit o bark.

No, Fayetteville. The big small town. You've got BBQ joints (along with
Chinese/Thai joints) every block or so (along with the other stuff) and so
far (after a year and half of trying) all of them suck! But I'm a military
spouse originally from Seattle. I've traveled all over the nation including
bits and pieces of the South. Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina,
Florida... am I a Yankee? Not as far as I know I'm only living here
temporarily.

Any North Carolinian knows that the best BBQ is in the eastern part of
the state (Clinton, Kinston, Goldsboro, Greenville) far away from the
urban areas in the old cinder block buildings. Lexington has great
BBQ. But, let's not confuse the famed eastern NC BBQ with that of any
other part of the state. I'm speaking of the spots where the grease
pours off the roof and you can hear the pigs squeal out back.

Most relocated yankees would never be able to find a real BBQ joint in
this state. Even fewer would actually eat in one if they did. Most
of the crap west of the triangle is just a Yankees' strip mall version
of Texas BBQ.

I can only think of three places that even have the eastern NC style
of BBQ in the triangle... Don Murray's, The BBQ Lodge, and Coopers.

FWIW, Danny's is not NC BBQ.

I'd have to add Ole Time BBQ in Raleigh to that list. And Smithfields in
Garner probably counts as the Triangle, although it seems more like a chain
than a joint.

Western Style NC Q has its merits, it's just different. It's like comparing
a Cabernet to a Chardonnay.

Well a Yankee from Chicago just might...a couple of what are reputed to
be the best joints in town, on the South Side, are little take-out-only
holes-in-the-wall in neighborhoods where you could be pardoned for
refusing to get out of your car without a phalanx of armed guards.

"Most of the crap west of the triangle is just a Yankees' strip mall

You are WAY outta line! I haven't seen ANYTHING remotely like Texas Q
west of the Triangle or for that matter ANYWHERE in North Carolina!

When it comes to NC "Q" most of what I've seen around here isn't Q
anyway. The "pits" I see hauled around on catering trucks are nothing
but, propane fired roasting ovens. No smoke, no wood, no flavor!

But, there are a few places that still use wood! Stamey's in
Greensboro and most of the well known establishments in Lexington are
some fine examples of what you call "crap west of the triangle" .

So stick with what you THINK you know EAST of Raleigh and STFU about
stuff you don't!

Rob (who thinks this might just be troll bait anyways)

What about Allen & Son? It was closed when I was visiting the Triangle
area.

Has anyone tried Courtney's in Clover, SC? I drove down there one weekend
trying to locate the place. I couldn't find it and ending up stopping by
Ron's Pig Palace (trailer Q).

Ron does a pretty good job and two days a week he parks his trailer up in my
neck of the woods (Huntersville). For somebody that obviously works so hard
at his craft I try to stop by once a week to buy some pork or beef.
