Abstract:
"For many a trip to the beach isn't the same without a detour through Wayne County to one of North Carolina's iconic barbecue restaurants." The restaurant has served president, governors and numerous beach-bound travelers. Wilberdean Shirley opened the restaurant in Goldsboro on Highway 70 in 1962. It closed 2019, a couple of years after Shirley's death but was reopened in soon after by a group of men with ties to Goldsboro. Leading this group is Willis B. Underwood III.
