I'll be eating lunch at Wilber's 4 weeks from tomorrow, a tradition we've enjoyed on our travels to the beach.
No beaches last year, so this trip thru Goldsboro is going to be cherished believe me . . what could be better than eastern Carolina 'cue, being at the beach and watching our football game against JMU with a second plate of 'Cue, boiled potatoes, slaw and hush puppies. . . ?

This is just sad. Why is it big cities in the South aren't flush with great BBQ joints? I know there is usually one or two that are pretty good in most large Southern cities, but per capita, there should be more. I don't get it. It's some of the finest food on the planet.
Yeah, that's kinda my only complaint with Charlotte. I think Sauceman's is pretty good, but good BBQ is what Charlotte is lacking, no doubt.
I have not been to Bum's. Need to.
I've only been to the new place once, but I thought so.
And it's easy to do. Figure out a good smoking process, throw in a hog, make a killer sauce, throw in some southern sides, and bam, you got yourself a BBQ joint.
Should we get a crowd funding campaign going for the OOTB BBQ joint?
It's not that easy If you do it the old way like the really great ones do.
Hey that's why the great ones only open 2 to 3 days a week. That would fit OOTB's lifestyle pretty well.
I haven't hit Sauceman's yet. We have Mac's, Midwood Smokehouse, Queen City Q, etc. They're all "fine" but none of them are anything special.
That's the equivalent amount of work I've accomplished this week.
If you do it the old
We stayed a few days in Southport a month or so ago. We took a ferry from Southport over to Ft. Fisher and up through Wrightsville and to Wilmington and had lunch at indochine.
Not many places we would travel that far to eat lunch but I love their food.
From their menu:
ROASTED DUCK WITH RED CURRY 21.99 Roasted duck, de-boned, and marinated overnight in a red curry sauce, blended with coconut milk, kaffir lime, shrimp paste, pineapple, lychee, tomatoes, and onions. An Indochine specialty!
They have a really wide variety, so every time I go I fight this battle between trying something different vs. having my go-to favorite. My other Indochine must-have is their wasabi pork dumplings.
I'm sure this will irritate @TarHeelNation11 , but I would rather be watching JMU at the beach eating some good BBQ than watching it at Kenan.
Everything you do irritates me so I'm used to it.
@UNC71-00 and @UNC '92 how's the view from that high horse? Smithfield's BBQ is damn good for a fast food chain. Don't tell me it sucks because it doesn't.
@heelmanwilm Dickey's is also really really friggin good for a chain. I agree that their sides are off the hook too. And yes, absolutely a nap is needed after eating there. Damn.
And yes, I agree with @Raising Heel that standards get dropped if you don't live in Eastern North Carolina.
THN11 out.
You're from Georgia, so why the hell are you even talking about BBQ? Just keep your mouth shut and get back to tinder.
Even though I "liked" your poast there is nothing I like about your poast.
Y'all have obviously never eaten SC bbq live in sc and love the state but their q sucks
What do you mean "ya'll?" You don't have to convince me that for the most part BBQ sucks in sc.
Yeah, I hope to one day be in the situation to force '92 to choose between Smithfield's and SC BBQ. 'Cause I think he's a big fat liar.
I can tell you what I'd choose, and it wouldn't be yellow.
By the way, I also like tomato-based BBQ.
Wait a minute RH are you talking about that crap like Kraft sells or are you talking about Lexington style sauce? Lexington style is not tomato based. Eastern style and Lexington style are almost the same, the only difference is Lexington style has a little ketchup. People try to make out like there is a big difference but there's not.By the way, I also like tomato-based BBQ.
Midwood is pretty good. Saucemans is OK, Mac's is good but inconsistent. Bubba's is ok, same with Bill Spoons. Kyle Fletcher's and RO's in Gaston County are both pretty good.
