BBQ Report

[prlyles]

Our fall trip to Ocracoke was delayed this year because of Florence and rescheduled to this week. Coming down we made a 40 mile detour to Graddy’s BBQ.in Dudley. The bbq was great, I would put it fourth behind Skylight, Wilber’s, and Lexington. Sides were real good, typical eastern....carry on

How was the week or so at Ocracoke . . ? I gotta tell ya, there's nothing better than hauling some really great 'Cue to the beach to feast on while you are there . . !

Tell me about it, where is it?

Anytime someone passes thru Wayne co. And misses Stonewall's BBQ it's a wasted trip.

 

[uncboy10]

Tell me about it, where is it?

Just outside of clemson, over towards Anderson. Got an honorable mention as the best college game day bbq in the country. Seriously delicious BBQ and the sides are always on point. There’s usually a line around the building at dinner time

Ya gotta go to the Pendleton location near clemson IMO

Where's the place at?

Where's the place at?

Right outside Goldsboro. Coker's mill, hood swamp.

Little white joint off the side of the road just before the mill? I know where it's at, I think. I'll check it out.

That's it! Saturday is BBQ day. Wednesday is BBQ turkey.

I've never had that SC mustard based BBQ. It sounds disgusting to me... and I like mustard.

It's not that good to me. It's still BBQ so you can eat it, but if I'm making a list it would be last.

Amen . . I've had the SC BBQ, it's just okay at best iffin' you're starved. Cardboard tastes just as good . .

Yeah, you could save yourself some money and just get someone to vomit in a bag. I'm betting it would taste about the same as SC style BBQ.

 

[uncboy10]

Mustard based?

They have mustard base, vinegar base and a sweet and smoky style sauce. You sauce it yourself, so it’s up to you

They’ve also got some incredible dry rub ribs

 

[tarheel0910]

To be fair to mustard based sauce, almost everyone on here is a BBQ snob. This board doesn't give it the best chance to succeed.

Yeah, I’d give it a try but it just doesn’t sound appealing.

I prefer the eastern NC style.

Vinegar based is obviously best, but I’d take mustard based over that molasses based sauce

Nobody cares what a yankee thinks about BBQ.

Yeah, I’m no fan of sweet either. Have any of you ever ate at Ridgewood? It is right over the state Line in TN? They use a sweet sauce. It taste a lot like the bone sucking sauce that you see everywhere.

Whistle Pig is still amazing sauce.

Hey RH, or anyone else in the know here, I don't know anything about the Pig Whistle sauce, can you compare it to the Scott's barbecue sauce if you've had both . . . TIA

I haven't had Scott's. Also, I've been known to eat Smithfield's BBQ so probably can't be trusted anyway.

As I have also . . so, you would recommend Pig Whistle sauce, is that correct . . ? I like to try different stuff all the time, but, being here in NoVA, I haveta order it.

Absolutely. It's delicious. It's basically an Eastern apple cider vinegar-based sauce but with more heat than usual.

Okay . . I thank you for that. I'm gonna try some . . !

@UNC '92 stopped by Picnic in Durham Saturday and brought BBQ and the fixings to the tailgate. He brought some of their Pig Whistle Sauce too, and it was all GOOD!

Billy, a correction is in order. I was reading the ingredients last night and there's actually tomato sauce in there, too. It definitely plays second fiddle to the vinegar but gives the sauce a little more body than a vinegar-only base.

From their website: "The debate is over, this sauce resolves the North Carolina barbecue feud -- a little bit east, a little bit west, and a whole lotta delicious. I call it the Great Carolina Compromise."

I don't disagree with a word of that.

That's how I've started making mine. It comes out a lot like Smithfield's sauce, but hell I like that stuff.

RIP your alerts.

Okay, I appreciate the input on Pig Whistle, guys . . !

I'm still gonna order up some and give it a try.

Gracias.

Exactly. This is just a nice hybrid of east/west. The vinegar comes through nicely and the body helps it "stick" a little better and does nothing to take away from that flavor the eastern folks enjoy.

@BillyL definitely order this from their store. I keep it coming to my place. I've also used it to replace my mop sauces when I'm smoking butts, shoulders or whole hogs.

We just got back yesterday also. Ate at Dajios, smacnallies, Howard's and Jason's. and spent quite a bit of our afternoons at Zillie's or the new brewery. You were there the best days in a while weather wise. They didn't get much rain but the wind was brutal last Wednesday and Thursday.

 

[heelbent]

They didn't gt much rain but the wind was brutal las Wednesday and Thursday.

They've been doing some beach reclamation at my family's place at N. Topsail and I wanted to go check it out. I was out there last week and the wind was as bad as I've ever seen it without a hurricane coming in. I swear a couple of gusts nearly shoved me across the deck.

But we got a lot more beach, lol.
