That's a good question, Big Al. When we looked into that for the Honor Roll posting we couldn't find a place to buy the DVD. We are looking into it.

This is great. There was a series when I was in college by the local public television about NC barbeque. And there is something so real about the food and the people when you see them in their enviroment. Gotta love it.
