i got so excited when i saw it open today

12/16/2007 12:48:56 AM

i guess that's cool... but i would really prefer non-chains.

Why anyone would eat at Red Hot and Blue in North Carolina is beyond me. It's seriously the worst barbecue I've ever had, and I won't touch that stuff, even out of state.

i hope that shithole goes out of business with the quickness.

Yay, some shitty chain opened when there are already plenty of good local places to patronize. Let me organize a damn parade.

yeah but daryls went to shit

12/16/2007 10:00:59 AM

I love making the trip down to Lexington and trying out a ran BBQ shack everyone in a while

12/16/2007 10:06:07 AM

Dickie's in Crossroads is really good

12/16/2007 10:15:21 AM

for some reason i read this as "Red Hot and pubes"

12/16/2007 10:34:39 AM

finally another restaurant/bar comes to hillsborough street and you people rip on it

you forfeit your right to bitch about everybody letting hillsborough go to pot

12/16/2007 10:46:49 AM

you people?? OMG CALL WRAL


seriously though. at least there isn't just a empty, run down shell of a building there anymore. its about time SOMETHING opened. the street sucks hard, any new money/business getting pumped into it is all for the better.

besides, we could've just gotten another pizza place. i'm sure all you fucks would be happy with that. OR MAYBE ANOTHER HOOKAH BAR BRAH!!

12/16/2007 11:42:05 AM

a shitty barbecue place is nothing to celebrate when there's an awesome one a mile to the east

12/16/2007 11:48:02 AM

and an awesome one a mile to the west

12/16/2007 11:50:56 AM

and an awesome one a mile to the south

i'm not sure what bbq places y'all are referring to, but red hot and blue is a completely different form of bbq than traditional eastern nc bbq. being a goldsboro native, i undoubtedly prefer some pit cooked chopped vinegar base, but comparing red hot and blue is apples/oranges. sometimes i wanna have some of their style bbq.

12/16/2007 12:01:27 PM

this place going out of business won't fucking bring daryl's back, and it won't bring in a new business. someone tried to put that 'raisin ale' place in the space, and it never even opened its doors. i'm just glad there's at least something in there now.

12/16/2007 12:06:53 PM

let's be real, ken's grill.

12/16/2007 12:10:20 PM

^^^^^Being a different style of barbecue doesn't mean it doesn't suck.


I mean, I can appreciate Eastern NC and Lexington Style BBQ, Kansas City and Texas style beef brisket, St. Louis ribs, South Carolina mustard-based, even Tennessee barbecue (Jack's in Nashville is fantastic). There is nothing that will make me touch the abomination that is Red Hot and Blue.

12/16/2007 12:12:20 PM

^^if we're talking lagrange, then i'll take BJ's grill (at the light right before you get to ken's) over ken's any day. much better.

i worked at daryls the summer before i turned 21, damn its been closed forever now

and its a red hot and blue now?

AWESOME

anyone who hates on RH&B is gay

12/16/2007 12:38:52 PM

You know, I never thought about this, but the Darryl's that was on Wake Forest Road changed their theme to a cajun/zydeco thing just before they closed and demolished the place...perhaps the same thing will happen with Darryl's #1 now that they've got the faux-zydeco RH&B thing going on.

12/16/2007 12:42:36 PM

eastern style bbq... hahahahahahah, vinegar is awesome!!

12/16/2007 12:44:21 PM

Thank god businesses are coming to Hillsborough St. Who cares if its a place that serves a poor imitation of bbq at outlandish prices...as long as there is something in that building.

12/16/2007 12:50:59 PM

This shit is terrible and bland. Some northerner went to one and came back telling me it was so awesome. I told him to gtfo with that shit

12/16/2007 1:01:02 PM

yeah, cause everything is bland after doing a shot of tasty vinegar!

12/16/2007 1:02:36 PM

What are the other good bbq places in town? I only know about Old Time and Cooper's.

12/16/2007 1:20:37 PM

ZOMG FUCK PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE THE SAME THINGS AS ME

YOU CANNOT HAVE AND OPINION DIFFERENT FROM MINE

Interestingly enough, I use Lexington-style sauce when I make chicken.

12/16/2007 2:04:44 PM

12/16/2007 2:07:06 PM

damn now I want some Q, can't believe those fuckers closed down the BBQ and Ribs company

12/17/2007 4:37:37 PM

yeah Wilbers was good
I was glad I stopped there with you

even though that weekend I consumed WAY too much pork

12/17/2007 4:38:50 PM

haha yeah, no doubt


I always stop at wilbers if there is someone in the group that hasn't had it

well, unless I'm in a hurry I stop there anytime I'm going through there...

I watched the airshow back in May from their parking lot while consuming bbq sammiches and sweet tea

12/17/2007 4:40:55 PM

you had some of the chicken Ed made right?

that shit was choice

12/17/2007 4:41:36 PM

Is the Q shack still open? Speaking of BBQ I might ride over to Whiteville and eat at Joe's

There's one good thing about Franklin St. and that's Ham's...which is what should have gone in where Darrell's used to be instead of Red Hot and Blue. I still might eat there at some point if I get desperate, but since I'm from Wilson and grew up eating at places such as Bill's and Parker's, I doubt Red Hot and Blue will ever become one of my regular eateries. But back to Ham's, I just can't believe that there isn't a Ham's anywhere in Wake County. There's one in Chapel Hill and Rocky Mount which are the two closest. And if Greenville, New Bern, Kinston, and Goldsboro can support a Ham's why in the world can't there be one in Raleigh and more specifically on Hillsborough St.
