Some poor knucklehead in Texas thinks barbecue is actually made from beef. Don't get me wrong, I like just about every form of cooked pig there is. Really we're not that far off on cooking methods. Low temps, long cook times over hickory or apple wood. Its just that pure pigmortial bliss measuring orgasmic on the pleasure scale, can't be achieved with a sauce that covers up the flavor of the meat. Heck, I'll even share a seekrit family recipe for sauce with you. ENC barbecue done right, is guaranteed to 100% to leave you satisfied, without the awkward cuddling and pillow talk afterwards.

To me one of the greatest things about where I am. I'm an hour and a half from the outer banks and four from the mountains. Not to mention our barbecue is the greatest.

The closest liberal bastion they'll have is Boone, about 100 miles away. Really it isn't too bad. Boone is inhabited mainly by old hippies and college students and they have some great pottery / hand-made-goods shops there. I'd recommend the outer banks (Nags Head / Hatteras / Ocracoke island) for their first beach trip. Its a more laid back atmosphere than the more tourist geared beaches. The wife and I normally go to the outer banks when we make our trips to the beach. Hell, if they're headed down here towards the coast have her shoot me an e-mail and I'll get her a list of restaurants and things to see / do. For the liberals, we do seem to have our share, but we try to keep them penned in between Charlotte and Raleigh, with all the Yankees.
