When you come as a guest of the United States, in particular the Southern US, BBQ is a big deal - like college football! But going to NC for BBQ is like going to Saudi Arabia for Italian food. Come to Tennessee - the real BBQ capitol of the world - after all, it is Memphis where the world championships are held and it is TN BBQ that always polls higher than any other BBQ anywhere else!

I just don't want you to be steered wrong by our misguided neighbors to the east. A pretty state with wonderful mountains and people - but BBQ?????
