It makes me want to go to Goldsboro to beg for those ribs held aside for the regulars.

Though I've eaten, and enjoyed, Wilbur's, Bill Ellis', Clyde Cooper's, OT's, Barbecue Lodge, Don Murry (or was that the Chevy dealer?), Blue Mist, SCNB, Stephenson's, etc.
I must say that the Playboy Mansion is one of my favorite places to eat, too.
Florida bbq used to be interesting. It was not Q, it was roast beef with catsup. Tasted good, but wasn't Q. Honey on hushpuppies was one of my favorite things.
Old South BBQ Ranch in Clewiston was a hoot.
NOTHING guarantees partisan
Wed, 07/22/2009 - 16:24 — AgentPierceNOTHING guarantees partisan rioting so much as highlighting ONE BBQ Joint. Afficianados of the other 10,000 joints immediately sound off in self-righteous fury.

As well it should! Wiber's
Wed, 07/22/2009 - 14:56 — Hockeydad92As well it should! Wiber's is as good as any, for eastern BBQ fare. How about the real BBQ joints? The places that are the roadside hole in the wall dives that serve the very best to a very few? I guess we wait on that list in Hustler or Swank!
