The North Carolina Barbecue Trail - Legends and Revolutionary (OV)
ฝัง

- This historic trail leads barbecue fans through the whole state of NC to some of the best BBQ joints. These pitmasters keep the traditional craft alive: Their pits are fueled only by charcoal or wood, they make their own sauce and they are in the barbecue business for more than 15 years.
This roadtrip is about iconic restaurants on the trail, pitmasters who dream of becoming a part of it and those, who search for the best barbecue - regardless of whether it's cooked traditionally or not.
I'm from Greenville and been to about half of these places. This made my mouth water. I live in Maine now I'm firing up the smoker
I grew up in Texas and consequently rock with Texas BBQ. To that end, we have hella respect and interest in NC BBQ here. We love it eat any chance we can.
DFW Boxing is Back that’s funny because I’m born and raised in Brunswick County, NC for 40 years and I’ll take sliced brisket over pulled pork any day lol, just don’t take my roasted oysters and hush puppies tho!
Respect back atcha friend🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲✌
Mutual respect is appreciated.
The big famous places are great! But the small town mom and pop places are to die for!!!!!!!!!!!
EASTERN N.C. MY GRANDPA MADE THE BEST BBQ ( R.I.H) REST IN HEAVEN PAPA
I’ve tried many different types of foods from different countries, and personally, there’s nothing better than authentic Mexican Tacos 🌮 and the authentic American BBQ 🍗 in the entire world 😋😛😂👍🏻. God bless!
The two best in the world, traditional Mexican and southern American food.
Cilantro lime juice and caramelized onions on a street 🌮 and Tapatio
If you tried foods from all over the world in America it’s not the same. You have to actually go to the countries and try them. The quality is usually much better in the original homelands.
And the "Asado Argentino" is like American BBQ.
The friendly German suncream avoider says "it's part of the culture, each restaurant has a unique feel and history, it's a bit like a German soccer team, in that they are duelling for the (metaphorical) BBQ championship."
"Soccer" really?
I always love to see hardworking people....thats what makes america such a great country...the hardworking people...
I miss my Eastern North Carolina Barbeque....it's the best anywhere in the nation in my opinion :)
You’re probably right. I’ve tried pork bbq in other parts of the Carolinas and they’re good. But eastern region was my favorite in the category of pork
If you go to North Carolina you will feel blessed somehow. It is like being smothered by a therapeutic cloud of magic. I did not know about it but I went and I experienced it!
My Mom was from Wilson, NC. There is (was) a place there named Parker’s or Perkins, I do not remember. But that was, hands down, the very best barbecue I’ve ever tasted. I’ve had barbecue in various American states, China, Cambodia, and Thailand. NC’s is the best!
It was Parkers, they're still there. I'm from Wilson originally. Bill's BBQ was also the spot but has since closed.
I really liked the Pik'n Pig would you say parkers is better ?@@davidhigh7306
jk haha pik'n pig was in carthage
Love the HIGH-TECH cinder blocks connected to the door/lid.
Im a NYC guy and say Southern Cooking is the best!
Host's favourite saying "Put the lotion on the skin, or else you get the hose again".
I’m completely obsessed with the USA 🇺🇸 it’s going to feel so weird when I eventually go🤤
you will be sooo disapointed.
You'll only be disappointed if you let that other guy be your tour guide. USA! USA! USA!
@@Damascuss07 ha ha!
Yep when I was little kid and my grandpa was still alive he took me to a lot of the good bbq places around here, C's bbq, and other little older wooden BBQ place in mocksville, couple places in wilkesboro, hickory, and Salisbury, but out of all the places Lexington BBQ was his favorite, and the best in his opinion.
Watching from the Eastern shore of va and now I'm ready to make a little trip to NC!
When will I learn not to watch these kind of videos when I'm hungry. Now I'm hungry...
God bless America 👍🏼 everything looks delicious 😋
I heard him call a grill a barbecue and couldn't help but think "oh, a yankee".
Awesome show. I love this. It would be nice to see different states. Hope to see another and thank you for this!!
Lol when he said he upgraded to propane. Blasphemy
Mattison Gaylord
Yeap, he lost me with the upgrade to propane nonsense. Get the wood burning with propane then lose the propane.
I headed right to the comments to see if I was the only one that went “WTF?” 😂
That's North Carolina for ya..
Throws the whole "Trail" into question
Mattison Gaylord The only reason I can think why he said upgrade was the propane grill was more expensive and he equated higher price with better product. People do this and only when it’s too late do they realise they are wrong!
He's so cool for having that illegal moonshine.
😂😂😂
@Jimmy Carter moonshine is ilegal too but if you get get it from an experience brewer ir better than Vodka. UK locked.
@@Kim Mcilwain Thats true think Moonshine is every even my Motherland Kenya more would have been better with that Hogs feels hungy. London locked
You can buy it in the ABC stores here... Been legal for years.
Everyday people taking pride in what they do, now that's a beautiful thing.
Excellent production, history and American cuisine, I like it very much !!!
omg ! God bless America ... I LOVE THAT FOOD !
nobody "upgrades" to a gas grill
IM FROM UK 🇬🇧 SO WATCHING THIS IS JUST AMAZING 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍕🍔🥩🥓🍺
For some reason, every single time someone makes a show about BBQ they focus on Texas and North Carolina. My family has been in the Deep South for around 400 yrs, Alabama, Tennessee, S Carolina, and Georgia ALSO have a very rich and varied BBQ history. Brunswick Stew, from Brunswick GA for one. Alabama white BBQ sauce, for another. Seafood BBQ from the Gulf, etc.
I love all of the variety of meats and sauces from around the country, not just one style.
The two barbecue guys are the biggest virgins I've ever seen 😂
Lived in Philly PA for all of my life. I thought I knew what bbq was. Then moved to Charlotte, NC.
Anyone reading this: If the chefs on the video doesn't have a southern accent? You're eating the wrong bbq. PLEASE trust me.
Drive 1-2 hours out of larger cities, stop at one of the 'Mom n Pop' shops along the road, and give it a try. Its unbelievable. I wont even pretend to know what they do to the meat.
TYVM America you are the BEST in the world and cant wait to do that trail this Fall as summer to hot and busy for the long trip from Canada.....=) cant wait~
Alabama needs their own BBQ Trail like North Carolina. Some of the best BBQ places I’ve been to have been down in Alabama. Rusty’s BBQ in Leeds, Bob Sykes BBQ in Bessemer, Tim’s Walk Hard BBQ in Leesburg, and The Brick Pit in Mobile.
Heards BBQ near maplesville very good in Alabama I love NC BBQ but I miss eating at Heards
I do not trust a guy who says "from charcoal I upgraded to gas".
It figures Obama would enjoy it! LOL
oh, you have to realise, thats not from schalke (stadttyle)
Hank Hill approves
@anthony patterson *TRIGGERED*
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was just joking with the whole introduction on how he prepares his BBQ...if not, I just wasted nearly 25 minutes on this blasphemy
I’m so glad I live in asheboro, just a skip away from any of these places
MAN ! Ain't nothing like **EASTERN** North Carolina BBQ !! I Absolutely Love BBQ here in My home State of NC ! I Stay Outta western part of NC ! You guys might not have noticed That NC interstate Hi- Way Welcome Sign, at the bottom ( camera went by fast as hell ) of that sign it Stays Completely : Welcome But U must set Ur Watches and clocks Back 55 yrs , 😁😊😃😀😄😃😂😂 Y'ALL come on Down NOW , and see for yourselves ! We'll leave the light on 👍👍👍🤗☺️😊
I'm here in 2020....and loving this vid.
Pardon me all to hell, but nobody "upgrades" to a gas grill.
Depends on what they are looking for. I'll take wood over all else. I learned how to cook steak over a fire by hand and I have never had better.
You are damn right.
The "upgrades" come in when the Spanish move in and the traditions move out.
Robert Palmer
My friend used nuclear to grill the pigs! Delicious!
Try vegan meats
This would be a cool doc if you removed all footage of the host and the blogger turds.
Kevoid That's true of most docs.
I like how this is a German channel but barbecue is so popular that had to keep the English dub
there used to be this little hole in the wall bbq joint that was just amazing. they got all their wood for free delivered had a simple arrangement with one of the small logging crews. crew got lunch free anytime they wanted they dropped off a few trees a week cut into small rounds.
Never go on a road trip with a man on sandals Never.
don hezca what if it was Jesus?
@@eg6199 Jesus is fake. Vladimir Putin is the Real Lord.
Putin thinks he is Lord. He just eliminated term limits so his power is eternal yet still corrupt.
😂
What about crocs???
15:17 the sound of just general acceptance of his life is so hilarious! Its like Yep...this is it.
Lol, Yep! 😂
That was a great video. Enjoyed
Don't hurt me! Just feed me. Love this!
Been eating at Pete Jones (Skylight Inn) Barbecue all my life! Heaven Goodness!.
If you went to Ayden, you should made the short trip to Greenville to B's!!
Apart from the good looking grub, I'm loving the Gary Clark jr element. So cool.
You did a good job capturing real bbq joints
not going to lie some place are good not all lucky to find the good places but 99% of the time the best bbq is what you grill
... DON'T WATCH if you don't have something to eat in front of you!
mucks shit im fucked up now
عندنا في المطبخ المصري بنعمل طبق ملوخية شهي جدا
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I got the ribs finishing in oven right now!!!!! Yes I said finishing in the oven. I don't do a full smoke in a wood smoker. I'll do half way done in smoker, and then either finish in oven or on a charcoal grill. Just mine and my families preferred way of doing it. After an hour you don't really get anymore smoke flavor in the meat anyway. As far as I can tell and many others. I've ran numerous tests on this. But I like going half way because I like the slow cook. Then the finish in the oven. When its 20 or 30 minutes done on ribs or poultry i put my sauce on. Then back in oven. For that little bit extra crisp. Anything else is served with sauce on side as it should be in my opinion. Bbqing gets in your blood. You might get to be legendary at it nation wide. You might be a statewide hero. Or hometown legend. Or maybe just the bbq master for parties and special occasions. Ive seen backyard bbquers that put resteraunts bbq to shame. Just because you don't have a resteraunt don't mean you can't get a trash can smoker or build a cinder block pit in your yard, or bury a whole hog in a hole dug by a backhoe or by a few beered up friends. Point is, bbq is all about love of bbquing. As long as man or woman doing it is satisfied with the end product that's all that matters really. Were not all pitmaster. But we who choose this should be masters of OUR pits. Happy barbecuing
Starting a BBQ place in Alaska watching videos from my home states of Texas King brisket and North Carolina King pulled pork and I love how he is playing gary clark jr music from Texas 😂
one of them reasons I love N.Carolina besides Ft Bragg!..Airborne all the Way!!
I can't wait to go to North Carolina!!! You made me hungry for some barbeque from the south.
Well, if there's not a brown dude in the backyard of the establishment- makin up some BBQ- you're not in the south yet.
The food looks wonderful.
Excellent video, that food looked delicious!
Love the Gary Clark Jr music in the background
"Vegetarians are run out of town and shot"... LOL !
sometimes just shot and then drug out of town.
Just a random vegetarian comment passing through.
Regardless of whatever, Southern BBQ is awesome even though I can't eat it. It's interesting to watch. Please don't equate us with wussy libtard cucks please thanks.
The fittest is not the one who survives. It´s the one who has a better adaptation to changes. Don´t forget it
luccifero
If it looks so good why dont you just have some ? Its natural to crave meat. In all seriousness and jokes aside, if you are a vegitarian I guarantee that if you ate a steak tonight that tomorrow would find yourself you feeing better.
Next to HTX BBQ, NC BBQ is my absolute favorite. No Sauce. No Slaw. Just pure culinary glory.
Yeah when you don't need to sauce it and the slaw sets it off on the palate...
Sigh. Making some now and can't wait to serve it up
Give that old BLK man 💙🙏 recognition,of his work n ur kitchen then💯✔️
Barbecue chef🍖
Any way if your gonna cook with gas just cook in the house
Born and reared in Charlotte I've missed BBQ since migrating to Costa Rica a decade ago. Enjoyed this BBQ road trip through my home state -- thank you! If you're looking for another complimentary topic, how about NC BBQ side dishes? What's in the cole slaw? Corn bread or hush puppies? What's in the sauce? BBQ beans? -- what kind? -- how're they prepared? Most unusual side dish? (I saw mac 'n' cheese at one of your stops -- a little too heavy for my tastes, but whatever floats your boat ... ) Thanks again for taking the time to film and share! ;-)
Mac and cheese is a common side with bbq but I hate Mac and cheese so I would never get it
Things I like about this video 1) its freakin BBQ ! 2) You got the music selection right. Blues and BBQ are a natural pair. 3) Truly southern cooks doing things the way they have been done for a long time.
Things I didn't like 1 and only 1) "I Upgraded???????🤔🤨 to a propane grill" 😯😪😭😨😟😤😢😖😞😧😓😩😰😱🥵😡🤬
I have that same smoker,Brinkmann Smoke N' Grill. Thing is great!!
Some of that barbecue pork looks so good I think I might eventually try some that's not as easy as it sounds because I'm Jewish!!!!
But then you can't try it
Just convert to Christianity and you're good to go lol.
Just convert to christianity for a week.
My granddaddy was a hog farmer from Raleigh NC.
THIS - is the only food we can't/don't get in NYC!!! We need BBQ NOW!!!
The Carolinas are the cradle of American barbecue it's where all began then it spread to Kansas City Memphis Texas I live in Florida but to me the best barbecue comes from the Carolinas!!!!!
I am a duel certified BBQ judge. I went on a BBQ trail through NC myself a few years back. I am tried to pick the best out of 6 samples, it isn't the one that I like the best, there is a big difference. One of the BBQ joints that I did go to in this video was 12 Bones. Highly recommended, but TO ME, it was a big disappointment, but that is my opinion. For BBQ, it was average, just average. It could have been a bad day, who knows. They were very busy, so it was at the right time, we had to wait in line. The sides were also disappointing. I would go back only to verify those thoughts. Believe it or not, the best BBQ on my BBQ trail through NC was Haywood Smokehouse 403 Haywood Rd, Dillsboro NC 28725. It was the best of the best BBQ that I have ever judged to had ever eaten. I live in Atlanta, GA, and I would drive there just for a dinner meal, it was that good. They have three locations now, I have only been to two of them, both the exact same, the best. The review that I did was without sauce because the meats did not need it, no need to cover up the true flavors with sauces. By the way, this is a very good video. Thanks for sharing.
Have you tried Michael Characters in Adairsville Ga?
How's Wilber's BBQ in Goldsboro, NC doin' these days? I'm FROM Goldsboro and to be honest: we like to say the best BBQ is at the church revival fundraiser where the local volunteer fire department fires up THEIR pits and cooks up four hogs and the meat falls out of the carcass when they slam them down onto the choppin' block counters. You'll have every family there bringin' the sides: The wife and I made the sweet tea and the hush puppies. Tea was Luzianne with real lemons. And sugar. Lots and lots of...TOO MUCH sugar mmm-hmmm. Hush puppies in lard in a wash tub. I saw some WHITE people messin' around the pits on this video. Can't trust it. They wasn't even fat. You gotta have yourself a big ol' fat black man in bib overall's and a raggedly ol' trucker's cap, sweatin' like a stuck pig - looks like he can't be bothered to hurry nothin'. You could set his tail on fire and he aint movin' fast even then. And you know that pit's HIS n SURE haint your'un. You can take your white scrawny tail over by the cole slaw or somethin' now GIT! BBQ means whole hog. OAK coals. slow cooked. Made by that fat black man. Otherwise: I don't know if I can TRUST it...And I think North Carolina Pork Council or Nahunta Pork Center or the good Lord Himself got some kinda LAW or somethin' 'bout that. You double-check these skinny white people messin' bout with them pits and I bet you'll find they either aint church-goin' or worse: they's YANKEES! Fixin' their lips to call it BBQ...Land o' GOSHEN!
College barbecue Salisbury North Carolina Statesville boulevard🍖🫶👍
@@richardhincemon I really like the look of this place you suggest. I done scoured their menu and peeped every picture (my goodness there was a million of 'em this place makes alot of people happy!) And I saw a footlong hotdog all the way. Some whole hog BBQ with slaw on a bun. I ditn see me no ketchuppy red "bbq" sauce. Plenty of pictures of hush puppies. Normal murican breffiss. Eggs n bacon n greeuts come on now! I'm sold! Big time! This means a ROAD TRIP from Milwaukee, WI. -
But do they got big ol' buttermilk cat head biscuits n pork sausage country gravy? Or chicken in a biscuit? With pimento cheese n gravy? goes good with you some o that there Texas Pete ya know. mmm-hmm.
I'm from New Bern NC State!
Moved to Asheville 7 years ago...have never been to or even heard of 12 Bones until I watched this video. If I want good BBQ, I go to Luella's; you don't need any sauce at all because they smoke it right. I've had just about everything they make there (chicken, turkey, kielbasa) and loved every bite. Also, Smoking Gun BBQ in Marion is pretty good.
Skylight Inn is simply the BEST!!!!
They lost me when the opening scenes showed a brinkmann smoker.
Mostly people want to go to Bora Bora, Paris, Beijing, etc for their bucket lists. Me..I wanna go to famous food joints and eat. #FatChronicles
Wow you have set the bar so high!
There are famous food joints in Paris and Beijing, too!
Same dude
@mista dont play LETS RIDE THEN CLYDE🍽🚘🛳🛤🛫🚀😋😄
Make sure Franklin BBQ in Austin is one of your stops. The brisket there is the best thing I've ever eaten and I've been to some of the best BBQ joints in the country
Nobody cooks barbecue like they do in the USA.
Its just amazing ...
School (and greed) led to all the horrid restaurants in the USA. These guys are craftsmen. So impressive!!
Man-oh-man I’ve eaten a lot of NC BBQ! Good stuff but I’m a Texas BBQ addict!
What man takes a picture of another man’s food
Lexington here, Born and bread .Wooooooo.
Love the cinder block counterweights
00:38 When your customers leave looking fatter than your pig statue lmao.
Lmao!
'Murica!
id say thats a sign of a successful barbecue business lol.
LMFAO!
Falo- yeah dude looks like he's gonna give birth to a few piglets himself 🐷🐖🐷🐖
never trust a man whose smoker is clean like that
True that
I am going to have to visit this place.
Watching from Korea
God i wish i waz born in the Us only becos of the Food ,than here Scandinavia Denmark🙄wish i can visit America one day and eat all the great food there😎👍
G B save some Euros and you can explore N.Carolina dude!..come on down here and enjoy some different feelings!
You are welcomed here with big open arms mate!

In America, we have day-long parties where people take turns tending the fire in a smoker and drinking beer; then you have BBQ to eat all week.
Jeg agree
you got to try Short Sugar's
Short Sugar's
love to see them beginning the day and session with prayer. In GOD we trust! Unashamed. May their tribe increase!
That’s some real Bbq!!!!
The "host" of this episode reminds me of a serial killer
I got that vibe too lol
Luca Capone LMAO. People who either never smile or smile all the time give me that vibe.
Looks like one creepy bastard
Dam I thought I was the only one thinking 🤔 that!!!!!! Dude got something else going on with him for sure!!!!!! Creepy vibe!!!!!!
Maybe the whole BBQ thing is a way to get rid of the bodies like in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes.
Looks like NC´s barbecue really kicks ass, and this is coming from an argentinian.
We have the best Q in the Universe in the South.
ColKorn1965 ok
NC BBq quicks ass.. but they have no fricking idea about the Chmichurry sauce from Argentina + the good at cooking pork, Argentina is Beef and in Argentina they dont ruin the meat with the bbq sauce.. so yea Argentina bbq quicks ass also lol.
Alfa Haha hell yeah chimichurri rocks! I´m guesing those bbq sauces must kick ass too though, looking forward to go on a travel there some day.
I saw that UK hat on the gentleman from Lexington NC. KY proud no matter what Lexington he's in.
Im a bbq lover and will probably get into bbq restaurant business someday
Why doesn't the host blink, specifically at 24:15. Oh yeah nice bbq tour!
Too much inbreeding or schizophrenia. Keep your distance from that type.
Try City Barbaque in Cary NC. Its got GREAT BBQ!
Harr Callea Cary? You weren't raised right if you go to Cary for barbecue.
Harr Callea Are you kidding? City Bbq is a chain restaurant...there's one in Durham NC as well but it's an Ohio company .... It's decent bbq but it can't hold a candle to the restaurants. on the NC BBQ trail.
Gross. I live in Raleigh and City BBQ is trash. I used to work in Regency Park and everyone at the job called it "Sh*tty BBQ" instead of City BBQ lol.
Wow very very nice job 👍
These places are always in the middle of nowhere because they're the ones that make it into a somewhere...
Am I the only one that thinks bbq sauce ruins that precious meat?
ya it should really just be served on the side if people really want it.
To me it's like anything else there are certain times to use sauce and times not to use it, I personally like sauce but if it's a piece that doesn't require it I won't use it.
That being said I have cooked stuff just cause I wanted to eat the sauce lol
Ya know it depends. idk what it is but sometimes meat by itself can really taste off to me and when that happens i reach for the bbq sauce.
MartinCL u got to be from texas
You should eat BBQ the way you like it. It can be great with a good rub, or with sauce dribbled on it, or drenched in the stuff. Want to try something different? Make your own BBQ and leave some of it with just rub and after you sauce the rest, put it over direct heat (preferably charcoal) and get that sauce bubbling. If you're going to sauce the meat, at least caramelize it.
Asheville, well, it got to Artsy fartsy, expensive and with a Gas Fired Barbecue, you see what i mean! STICK TO The SMALLER TOWNS, WITH FOOD FIRED.
Great video
That is a great and wise saying :D
