Tips from the community

Just like South Carolina North Carolina has their own trail for finding the best BBQ places in their city. I think that NC gets overlooked because it’s not expected to have good BBQ but most people don’t know this state has thousands of places of Barbecue joints to try and the best part you decide if you love a vinegar tangy based barbecue or a more ketchup based sauce.
