    Where in hell would you find BAR B QUE in Tennessee???? I mean they may have canned stuff or barbequed racoon but not the real stuff. That is here in N.C. son. I tried some in Mass. one time. The sign on the wall boasted real N.C. barbeque. Well I ordered a plate. The man asked me how I liked it when I was paying the bill. I told him it tasted like he had poured cough syrup on it and I wasn't lying. And yes slaw is just fine on a barbeque sandwich.

    Best BBQ, anywhere around here, is from Mike's Southern Pit Smoked BBQ, about 7 miles from the house.

    For years, when my Parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas, it was Mike's BBQ, with a side of sauce, up in the NY/NJ region. They would put it in the coolers Omaha Steaks would ship them to them.

    Awesome stuff. Vinegar based sauce. Fresh Southern Cole Slaw, on a bun. Excellent fare.

    WTH, do you find good BBQ, in Wimington, NC? On the Coast?

    Seafood, I get. BBQ, not so much.

    Just the way you used the phrase, "BAR B QUE," tells me all I need to know, about your Southern BBQ knowledge/heritage.


    Thanks for playing.



    Sam, please help him. He obviously needs it, in reference to BBQ.

    Firearms, Okay. BBQ, not so much.

    never did until I went to a restaurant that had "Memphis style" BBQ. had cole slaw on it. blew me away. went there every time I could until they went out of business. I think it takes a particular sauce, couldn't imagine that on Mesquite or KC style.

    My first exposure to slaw on a BBQ sandwich was at the now-long-gone Coleman's BBQ chain in 1972, somewhere in northern Mississippi. It came as a pleasant surprise, and I've been eating it that way ever since.

    That makes me a Yankee convert, I guess, LOL!

    I am NOT going to deride anybody's opinion of what constitutes good or bad BBQ. Because it's ALL good. I grew up eating St Louis style, but dearly love Memphis, Texas, North Carolina, and any others you care to mention.

    Murphy's was the "go to" place several years ago. Use to be on 105 just past Sagebrush, moved down town and they went to pot. My 2 cents.
    I will make a run to MC some time in the near future and met maybe a Mike's or Pablo's. I think that is what the name is. Over next to the grocery store that is closing with the doggie goodies for sale.
    Might bring Ricci's 57 and 62 for a look see.

    As well as the Monday night Wing night, they had the best French Dip, with Aus Jus, anywhere around here.

    Poblano's my Brother. Excellent fare.

    My treat, if we meet up there.

    Either one. :D

    There are a few good BBQ places in Wilmington, you would be surprised.

    Also Smithfields has really good BBQ and fried chicken at their locations and there is one not far from Ricci.

    Come on down here and I will take you to the best BBQ joints in the state. Me and my Dad used to go on BBQ road trips all over NC and SC.

    The only bad side is the so called Brunswick stew they have here. Smithfields is not too bad but most of these places have taken up the VA version that has Lima Beans in it. That is a NOGO for me anything with Lima Beans in it is not fit for a dog.

    I would not feed Lima Beans to a Commie or a Muslim................. :lol:

    Sam, we differ on lima beans. Love 'em. Also butter beans, pintos, black-eyed peas...you get the picture. Ham and limas was one of the most detested rations in Vietnam, but I ate 'em with delight. Well, with acceptance. Because they weren't nearly as good as my Mom's version of ham and limas, but that's another tale as they say.

    My 50-year concubine is going on a solo trip this week. Because of this post, I'm sorely tempted to whip up some ham and limas!
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I'm from MA. We know fried clams but BBQ - not so much. Was in Holly Hills (I think) in NC many years back. Sweatmans BBQ, I think. Now that was BBQ. I think I'm still burping up brisket. :mrgreen:

    BTW, we always called it "cole slawr" - never just "slaw".

    I will admit (confession for a non-Catholic) that I did not know the difference between a sloppy joe and a BBQ sandwich until I was at least 30 yrs old!! :o :shock:

    Grew up being told a MANWICH was BBQ and the lie rooted deeply into my memory banks. (and my taste buds)

    Worse than that, cole slaw was never even offered as a topping let alone as a side dish unless it was chicken from KFC!

    From all of this, being led down the wrong path regarding fine cuisine, I always used to deny BBQ as a choice even when the real deal was made available to me later in life. So here you have it. NO. I do not eat slaw on a BBQ sandwich. Out of ignorance, not because I'm a Michigander.

    Well, you really have to live there to get the full experience. After a few years, even a "Damn Yankee" import like myself learns the nuances of BBQ, cornbread, hush puppies, catfish, greens, grits, and purple hull peas. But not a drive through tourist.
