That said, Hard-8 in Stephenville is pretty good and the beef ribs at Coopers inthe Fort Worth stockyards is the best beef BBQ I've had anywhere outside my back yard.

What part of Carolina are you from? I grew up about 45 min from Durham, up toward the big ole town of Roxboro...

Pittsboro. Although I'm a Blue Devil fan. Those Tar Heels went straight down hill after Michael Jordan.

Allen & Sons is one of my favorites.

AAAHHHH, a man after my own heart. I actually worked for Duke University for 4 years, I moved to TX for a while, then moved back and ended up working for UNC Hospitals. I have always been a Blue Devil and it wasn't anything to walk across campus and see a Basketball Player, there or in the mall at Northgate or South Square.

I have a friend that I grew up with that lives in Pittsboro.

The only bbq I get any more is when I come through Texas or Oklahoma.

Have you noticed how BBQ differs in South Texas, East texas, and Central Texas?

I beg to differ. For this NC girl, transplant to TX, BBQ will ALWAYS be pork, vinegar based sauce. Don't get me wrong, I love some good TX brisket, but I'll take pork anyday, preferably from Smithfield BBQ when I am home, or right off the grill, after it's been cooked for 10-12 hours slow cooked. MMM, nothing better and served with Cold Sweet Ice Tea, cole slaw and potato salad.
