The restaurants are pretty different, and even though the 'Cue Joint's BBQ was quite good, Allen & Son's was better, at least when we went. Sides are another story; there, the 'Cue Joint wins some and loses others compared to Allen & Son.

That was the best pulled pork I ever had -- tender, subtle, peppery, tart, balanced. I don't eat as much bbq as you folks, but I've had some bbq in my time. Thank you for posting about our fine adventure and you know that I have great affections for you all. But it makes me sad that anything negative had to be said about such a magical meal. Can't winners just be winners? As bruno latour said, no matter what, the critic is always right. Good but not great pulled pork?!!?!?!?!?

I think there's something uniquely tasty and redneck about NC banana pudding. Embrace it! Don’t back down, Andrew! I think there’s something uniquely tasty and redneck about NC banana pudding.

I don't mean to suggest it's a North Carolina <em>exclusive</em> — just a classic. Oh, probably nothing. I don’t mean to suggest it’s a North Carolina exclusive — just a classic.

Methinks you might be a bit NC-overzealous! ok, so what, specifically, distinguishes NC banana pudding from the rest of the South’s? Methinks you might be a bit NC-overzealous!
