My parents stopped for BBQ at Ralphs in Weldon NC on the end of season drive home to NJ from FLA. Obviously I’m thrilled to have them home, but this is the best part of them coming home lol

@CKHesq oh so now we're just posting porn pics on mastodon? sweet

seriously though I could go for some proper Q right about now. Have to make my own out here

@mrcompletely we’ve got more than passable BBQ here in NJ but this is a completely different level of delicious
@CKHesq I grew up on that Carolina Q. It's bad out here trying to find any style done well but Lexington style or similar in particular is rarely tried and never right
@mrcompletely am I correct in that this is mustard/vinegar sauce territory?
@CKHesq no mustard for me but that style is good too. I like the straight vinegar and hot pepper sauce, ideally chopped small and served in a sandwich with slaw, hush puppies on the side...but any eastern carolina style works for me
@CKHesq oh dang! My wife used to work in Roanoke Rapids. I looked up Weldon and realized it is literally right there.
