Having lived in the Eastern half of NC for almost 30 years, I have an affinity to our 'style' of pulled pork. However, the best pork isn't in a restaurant, but at good old fashioned pig pickin's that every family seems to have spring, late summer and fall. Being able to snare a piece of pork off the smoker before it is chopped is heavenly. Long live NC pulled pork barbeque!

I am actually from Lexington, NC, and I was so excited to Honeymunk's (which is what locals call Lexington BBQ) on this list. They did leave one off the list that's easier to get to - Jimmy's BBQ on Hwy 8, which is right off of I-85 and delicious. Lexington also hosts the BBQ Festival every year, last Saturday in October.
