...if your idea of barbecue includes the charred flesh of a cow served with a catsup based sauce.
Now being a lover of all sorts of cooked meat, I do have to say I enjoy eating charred cow with the catsup based sauce. But that still doesn't make it Barbecue.
I refer you to
The Lexington Collection, written by North Carolina native Dave Lineback. That's my Mustang you see in the writeup for Allen & Son BBQ, one of the premeire log-burning BBQ joints in the Old North State.
Allen & Son doesn't have
the best BBQ in the state but they do have the best hush puppies. Golden brown and crispy on the outside, shaped like a golfball. The inside is a soft cornbread mildly sweetened and with little bits of onion as a bonus.
