Anything I should check out while I am there?

ratbastid · 10-18-2006, 06:59 AM

Sure. Where in NC?

ShaniFaye · 10-18-2006, 07:01 AM

NC is a BIG state....as RB said...which part are you going to?

iamtheone · 10-18-2006, 07:34 AM

Raleigh, NC. I am sorry not to mention that.

the durham bulls stadium.. (ya know, from themovie bull durham

duke university has a really pretty campus, the chapel is gorgeous... and on a nice day it's great for wandering around.

I lived in Durham for 10 years, which is right next door to Raleigh. I don't know Raleigh all that well, but Bullock's Barbecue in Durham is probably a :45 drive, and has the best barbecue I've found in the state. I'm sure there are places to go in Raleigh that are about as good, though. The secret is: look for a wall festooned with pictures of famous people eating there, often photographed with the owner. That's how you can tell it's the real deal.

NC barbecue has a vinegar-based sauce on it. It's awesome, but totally unlike anything I've ever seen anywhere else.

Yep, I have made that style before, I love it. And thanks for the tips.

Only the eastern part. The Triangle offers both Eastern and Lexington style, which consists of all shoulder meat and a tomato based sauce. Eastern NC BBQ consists of whole hog meat with the vinegar based sauce. Both are very good, but eastern bbq can get a little fatty for my taste. [/ BBQ lecture]

Sorry, couldnt help myself.

So, where is a good place near Raleigh? I heard Lexington was the cream of the crop for que in NC. How far is this away from say the Durham airport?

Lexington is about an hour and a half highway time from RDU. In Raleigh, Old Time BBQ is good, as is Don Murrays. Mind you, these are BBQ joints in the classic sense; very basic and in block buildings. However, they are very clean and they can cook up a mean Q

Urgh. Cold and rain.

ratbastid · 10-22-2006, 01:19 PM

Yeah, it's not a great day to be visiting NC. Tomorrow ought to be better. Fall chill, but sunny. You brought a good jacket, I hope?

iamtheone · 10-22-2006, 03:24 PM

well, a light one. Hopefully I don't freeze my tail off.
