Carolina Pulled Pork is bad!!!
Well, I'm back from Columbia, SC, (only and hour away) and their first SCBA
sanctioned, Carolina Q Fest, with one thing to say. I don't like pulled pork! At least any and all of the pulled pork that I sampled. The best I can say is that all of the pork had zero taste. And I mean zero taste! If they didn't add some kind of sauce after the meat was cooked, it would have been quite bland. This is the same as the pork that I ate in Lexington, NC at the Lexington. As best as I can figure is that all of these meats were cooked indirectly. Regardless of gas, coals or wood. The cookers that I could peer into had drip shelves that were in between the heat and the meat. Almost the same at the Lexington but in a much different way. There they cook shoulders which had thick skin all around which would give the same indirectness to the process. Now when I do a Boston butt, minus any skin. I cook it directly over coals and wood, which infuses allot of flavor. When I did my one and only whole hog in my Freezer Q, I did it the same way, no skin, direct over the coals and wood. It was very flavorful. I guess it's what your use to but braggin about a meat that has virtually zero flavor ain't my cup O tea. I've even had roast of pork from a common oven that had more flavor. Between the 16 sources that I've had to date, I'm done with Carolina pulled pork! Yuuchh! Piedmont |

That's why the local BBQ joints put out that yellow vinegar-based sauce in bottles on the tables. Gives the meat some flavor and makes it moister too. -- Yip |

But most of the sauce around here is red/vinegar. There was one cook at the Carolina Q Cup who, even though there was no taste to the meat, did indeed have a very, very good thin red vinegar sauce, a little spicy and a little sweet. I went back and told him so too! Peace and Love, Piedmont |

It seemed to me that Bob cooked his hog meat down/skin up, that the meat juices would splatter onto the coals and add to the flavor. Plus that Bob seems to use a hotter heat which probably helps give a "roast" taste. He also seems to be cooking at the same distance between the pig and coals as what I saw at the Lexington. Except they use pork shoulder which still has the skin on, all around the meat, thereby sheilding it from the influence of the vapors. At the Lexington they shovel in hots coals probably similar to Bob. It was by reading through Bob's cooking info that got me to thinking and doing pork direct over coals but with the meat placed higher than a standard grill. I could have misinterpreted this but regardless, the pork that I have cooked myself, indirectly and with skin on shoulders tasted as bland as bland as the pulled pork here in the Carolinas, but that the pork that I cook directly over coals has a great falvor to in, in addition to the wood smoke that I add to it. Anyway its all just IMHO and many others that were raised with it will always like it which I'm not knocking, Probably as they would knock at me for being raised with and liking grilled chicken and ribs cooked on a grill then having bbq sauce glazed on it at the end of the cook time.

When I lived in Indiana and just getting on the newsgroups and AFB I used my real name, then watched Ken Burns Jazz and saw a jazz man that played in Kansas City in places that sold booze and bbq so I gave myself the "Sweets" handle. Which I used while I lived in Illinois, now that I have been in South Carolina for 'bout 2 years, I live in the "Piedmont" geographical region between the Mountains and the Ocean. So I though, cool, I'll try out a new handle representing my new stage of life and residence. I love it here! Beautiful weather! I didn't know there was so much blue sky! Around the great lakes the sky is overcsat to clouding most of the time. Average winter temp here is 50 degrees, got 4 acres with woods so I got plenty of split wood to make my lump. I'm in heaven here, semi retired, work as a substitute teacher, both me and the new wife. I've collected a pile of used bricks and someday hope to put together a large brick cooker out back, covered roof and all. Piedmont |

Try Allen & Sons, Stamey's, Bridges, or The Skylight. Log burners that have real pulled pork. Of course there is Sweatman's in SC. There are so many Q places in the Carolinas that many have gone to gas just to keep up w/ the demand. Flip's BBQ in Wilmington is just horrible but still crowded. Go figure. |

Cook a butt over lump with some wood added until it's pullable and it's gonna be pretty tasty unless it's overcooked and dried out. A nice rub helps the bark, but just some S&P, maybe some garlic powder is all it takes to produce a pretty fine plate full of pork. It's even good leftover and reheated. Jack Curry |

Probably the primary reason for this is the blandness of today's ultra lean brined pork being pawned off on today's consumers. If you take one of Bob's hogs or a hog that has been raised naturally and slower with the intent of adding some fat, the flavor contrast is unbelievable. I grilled some pork chops over wood coals at Bob's a couple of weeks ago. No salt or pepper. They were the juiciest and most flavorful chops I've ever had. They did not need anything except to be cooked. I would even bet they would have tasted better than most any commercial pork broiled without seasoning in the oven. Bruce |

Tried the pork a couple of times and it tasted as described. Really bland and tasteless. Now, there a place just across the border from Alabama in Georgia off 20 that make it great. Looked out back and they had a BIG old smoker cranking away. Great stuff. I always leave there with a big care package. Hope someone has a suggestion for good "Q" in Charlotte. Have to go back next week. Right now, leaning toward the spaghetti!! |

"ToLo" > wrote in message ... >> Hope someone has a suggestion for good "Q" in Charlotte. Have to go > back next week. Right now, leaning toward the spaghetti!! None to be had. Shelby or Lexington are your choices. Spoon's on the south side and Bubba's on the north side are places where you eat the meat and two special at lunch (ie chicken and dumplings or meatloaf) but forget the Q. Bubba's stew is ok and his hushpuppies are fair. I think the key is that what is passed off as pulled pork isn't. It's gassed pig and crappy stew. Real North Carolina pulled or chopped pork is to die for. If you are going to be in Charlotte and one of the churches on the north side of town is having a Q go to it. Mallard Creek is today and tomorrow but Poplar Tent Presbie is next weekend, I think. This is the seventy fifth Q at Mallard Creek. Poplar tent was given their land by the Queen of England, been there a while. Nice to get a sammich and walk through the graveyard. |

ToLo,
I figure this is gonna be too late but, for what it's worth, Lexington NC, is only about 1 hours/50 miles north of Charlotte, via Interstate 85. And the Lexington Restraunt is right off the interstate 85. But I suggest getting the "Brown". Also, The owner has no problems showing you his kitchen/ovens if you ask. He is a very nice guy!

Actually it's just beside Business 85. As you are headed north on 85 it will split to the right about five or so miles north of Salisbury. Keep on Business 85 when it splits with 52. About a mile after that split on the left in a white building is Lexington BBQ. As soon as you see it get ready to exit to your right after you cross a bridge. There will be a furniture factory on the right at the exit. Go back under the bridge and try to find a parking spot. If you go down one more exit and bear to the right you'll go past the BBQ Center. Within a hair of being as good as Lex #1. In fact I would recommend hitting the Center after eating at Lex #1 for a banana split, they a good and huge. And I also would agree with Piedmont to ask for brown or outside meat at any place in NC. If they don't know what you're talking about then I would recommend leaving. |
