Abstract:
Jim Early, of Winston-Salem, the author of THE BEST TAR HEEL BARBEQUE: MANTEO TO MURPHY, has selected twenty-five barbecue establishments to make up the North Carolina Barbecue Society's Historic Barbecue Trail. To qualify, each restaurant had to be in business a minimum of fifteen years; make its own sauce; offer sit-down dining; and cook real North Carolina-style pork barbecue on site. That means the pig must be cooked in a pit over wood or charcoal.
