haha they've already been introduced to the better style. they're just not about that vinegar based life like we are. it would be like moving to Kansas City and being unable to find any place like the Pit or Smithfields

12/24/2012 11:46:55 AM

Take them to KFC and get the honey bbq sandwich then

12/24/2012 11:49:49 AM

doesn't the pit kinda have every thing?

12/24/2012 12:13:46 PM

yes, you can get a western style of sauce at the Pitt

12/24/2012 12:31:15 PM

or a Q-Shack location

12/24/2012 2:24:12 PM

You can get eastern nc BBQ in Kansas City, yet you can't find kc BBQ here.

The more ubiquitous the BBQ the better it is, no?

Dickeys

The Pit is going to be your best bet imo

12/25/2012 9:12:01 AM

what is western style BBQ

12/25/2012 11:22:41 AM

The worst kind

12/25/2012 3:48:32 PM

^^ it's ACTUAL barbecue where you actually have a barbecue sauce instead of pouring cat piss on a bunch of pork.

Yes. Which is why pretty much the rest of the country uses tomato-based sauce instead of vinegar.

Dont be stupid

Smokey's in Morrisville should be close to what you're looking for. I've always enjoyed it thoroughly.

12/25/2012 8:36:50 PM

dickey's is hit or miss but when it's on, it's ON.


brisket, ribs, great sides, smoked chicken. good stuff.

12/25/2012 9:44:57 PM

i've taken them to the Pit and the've been to Q-shack already... not what they're used to. I'll try Smokey's in Morrisville which is actually close to where they live

12/27/2012 11:43:04 AM

This seems like trying to find a resturant with fresh seafood in Nebraska

12/27/2012 11:51:35 AM

Danny's is the correct answer.

12/27/2012 4:22:35 PM

That sounds absolutely disgusting.

12/27/2012 7:20:23 PM

Alabama might be the worst state for "local" food.

12/27/2012 7:21:50 PM

Fattest state in the union

12/29/2012 9:37:28 PM

How far west?

I am big fan of Kalua style.

what kind of douchenozzle visits a different region and then wants to find some bbq like what they have back home?

[Edited on January 2, 2013 at 11:19 AM. Reason : or did they move here?]

1/2/2013 11:18:35 AM

^ people come to New York and then eat at olive garden. It's a dumb world we live in.

1/4/2013 10:44:29 PM

they lived near Hickory NC, moved to Columbus OH for 10 years, then moved to Cary

Red Hot & Blue (Falls of the Neuse near Raleighwood Cinema Grill) is a Memphis style chain. There's also some good smokehouses nearby that might be more what you are looking for: Prime Smokehouse (Rock Quarry Rd.), Aviator Smokehouse (downtown Fuquay), Carolina Smokehouse Grill and Fire Pit BBQ (both in Wake Forest). Charlie's in the Cleveland community (near Clayton / Willow Spring) also is a little different but more like bbq you would get in Rowan county than KC. Also, there's the Big Al's food truck which also has a joint in Youngsville. Those are all good options if you want something other than eastern style NC barbecue. Of course if you want good eastern style, some other good ones in the area besides the Pit are Stephensons (on highway 50 near McGee's Xroads), Coopers (downtown), Back Yard BBQ Pit (Durham hwy 55 right right off I40 exit 278) and Allen & Son (hwy 86 in Chapel Hill).

Introduce them to Eastern Style.
