The battle of the bbq remains fiery. Carolina vs Texas, whole hog vs smoke.
Well, if Kings BBQ is representative, my home state is getting smoked by Snow's. The Ribs are a bigger disappointment than Duke going down to UNC in the final four this year. Super tough, stuck to the bone, barely and flavor.
It's a little better if you douse it in sauce - theirs is an iteration of NC vinegar, a liquid full of acid with a dash of barbecue sweet. Makes the pork pop and makes the fat easier to eat.
BBQ Pork was a winner, what they're known for, and clearly so. Moist, tender juicy, good savory flavor, perfect on a sandwich stacked with slaw or as-is with a dash of vinegar.
Hubby loved the Slaw. Finely chopped cabbage so it's more like a firm puree, a creamy salad dressing with a dash of vinegar sits better than most mayo.
Potato Salad is nice, evenly coated, cold, and sweet.
Hush Puppies were a cheap and easy add-on, and they're pretty alright. Lighter-fried cornmeal cooks with a little crunch, a pleasant, textured side-starch.
Brunswick Stew is a special item, meaty and hearty, with veggies in the mix. Loving the lima bean, hating the overpowering pea, at peace with the sweet corn.
Well-priced, easy shipping, but overall, my home state shames us with those very regrettable ribs.
