Abstract:
In 1962 Wilber Shirley bought the former Hill's Barbecue in Goldsboro and opened it under his own name. He has prepared barbecue the traditional way for the past fifty years--cooking whole hogs entirely over hardwood coals. Wilber's is one of the few places left that prepare barbecue this way, and in the eastern part of the state, Wilber's is one of the biggest names.
