Who Has the Best BBQ in the South?

Answer 1

Lexington North Carolina, no doubt.I've been all over the south, tried BBQ everywhere,and Lexington is the champ in my opinion.
Why else would over 100,000 people show up for a barbecue festival?

What makes Lexington barbecue so special? The fare is pork, of course - and shoulder is the cut of choice in Lexington. The pork shoulders are cooked long and slow - about an hour a pound - over hickory wood until it is fall apart tender. The shoulders are basted with "dip", a mixture of vinegar, ketchup, water, salt, and pepper. As the dip and fat drip onto the coals, smoke is created that rises up, surrounds and permeates the meat, and gives it a rich, smokey flavor. The meat is served chopped, although sliced can be requested, with more of the basting sauce on the side. Barbecue from Lexington is so famous that Craig Claiborne included it on the menu of the Williamsburg Economic Summit, where the world's leaders got a taste of real American food. Some restaurants offer "air-express" barbecue delivery, where they overnight barbecue requests all over the United States.
