Abstract:

Sylvester Hursey began his barbecue in Burlington back in the mid-40s in his backyard. Son Charles, now near 70, began working at the establishment when he graduated from high school in 1960. Wallace recounts how Hursey's, from its humble start, has grown to three locations in the Burlington area and received the first license in North Carolina to sell barbecue wholesale.
