What's the deal with NC BBQ lore. Just moved here from San Diego, and people I am not impressed. Vinegar is for pickles not pork; bbq should be pulled not ground up like mince meat jerkey chew you can buy for $.99 at the local gas station. Ever hear of Beef Brisket? Ever hear of sliced pork? Can i have some choices in sauces, sweet, spicy, mustard? In your words, ""give a fellar some options"". The best BBQ I have eaten is at Dinosaur's in Syracuse NY, and (I forget the name) in St. Louis. They do it up right. Enough with the vinegar, long live the rub and the tomato!
