Reply to "The BBQ lifestyle comes at a price"

I'll vouch for Coopers. It's a "neighborhood joint" near downtown Raleigh. I didn't know you could get Nahunta pork at the farmer's market. Whenever I visit my in-laws in Princeton I'm tempted to travel a little further when I see the sign with the crowned pig.

For those who may not know, Lexington BBQ is ketchup-based, while those around Raleigh and down east are strictly vinegar. The line of demarcation seems to be somewhere west of Siler City, where Aunt Bea used to live. In Asheboro we get the ketchup mess, and now that I can smoke my own I have no desire to patronize the BBQ places here.
