September 16 @ 8:48 pmToday’s scavenger hunt photo got me to thinking about my time stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB. The thing I miss the most? NC-style BBQ! Just outside of Goldsboro, NC is a restaurant called Wilbur’s. They served the best pulled pork sandwich I’ve ever had. The BBQ you get in NC isn’t like BBQ I’ve had anywhere else. It uses a vinegar-based marinade instead of the red sauce most people associate with BBQ. It’s an acquired taste, but if you wind up hooked on it nothing else compares.
And that got me to think further… is there any way a fellow in Seattle, WA can get his hands on NC-style BBQ? Turns out the answer is a resounding YES! There’s a famous BBQ place in Kinston, NC called Kings BBQ that will ship it anywhere in the country via FedEx! So, when I get back from my road trip next week, I’m ordering up a batch!

I’m gonna have to send Wendy over here. You said “pulled pork”!!! (LOL ~ inside joke)
I gotta say ~ the one thing about living down here is the fact that the food is so rich & flavor-filled. I’ve been to restaurants in norhtern states where food tastes bland. I guess people in the south are more apt to experiment with flavor.
I’m not saying ALL restaurants are this way ~ just some of the ones in the north.

For the record: she started it.
(There. I’m exhonerated now.)
And I have no idea how to spell that word.
