Video: Native American Farmers in North Carolina
For this Perennial Plate video, we stopped to chat with some farmers at the American Indian Mothers Three Sisters Farm in Shannon, North Carolina. Plagued with high poverty rates and little access to good food, these folks remain inspired in their efforts to farm sustainably. "In order to eat, you have to know something about agriculture."A Sandwich a Day: Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich at Early Girl Eatery in Asheville, NC
When it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches, everyone has their favorite. From extra sharp cheddar to havarti to tetilla, I thought I'd tried them all. At Early Girl Eatery in Asheville, North Carolina, I experienced yet another variation on this old favorite. The Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich ($6.50) layers pimento cheese, tomatoes, and spinach on toasted, buttered whole wheat bread.Sandwich a Day: Rapini and Sweet Italian Sausage Panini at Toast in Durham, NC
The Rapini and Sweet Italian Sausage panini ($6.50) from Toast far from disappointed; it excelled. The bread was a crunchy, olive oil-glossed beauty with perfect grill marks, and the slices of sausage were large, sweet, porky, and studded with fennel.3 Great Eastern North Carolina Barbecue Joints: Grady's, B's, Wilber's
When you talk barbecue in Eastern North Carolina, you're not talking about fuffing with ribs or piddling shoulders. Baby back ribs are for babies, and what the heck's a brisket? Nope. In Eastern Carolina, barbecue means one thing: whole hog. That would be an entire pig, slow-smoked in the indirect heat of an oakwood fire until them eat is meltingly tender. On a recent road trip down south, I took a slight detour through Goldsboro to check out Wilber's. And being the Serious Eater that I am, I of course added another two stops on the way: B's in Greenville, and Grady's in Dudley.A Sandwich a Day: Lexington-Style Chopped Barbecue at Lexington Barbecue
Lexington Barbecue, which has been serving oak-smoked pork shoulder in various forms since the 1960s, offers its barbecue in sandwich form for less than $4. If you intend to get serious about it, ask for yours with "extra brown" (bits of meat cut from the edges of the shoulder). Lexington's chewy, smoky chopped pork, crowned with a scoop of sweet and tart barbecue slaw and stuffed into a factory-made hamburger bun, is a classic handful of American barbecue.Chain Reaction: Cook-Out in North Carolina
Ever been to a Cook-Out? Not just a backyard barbecue; a chain restaurant that's called "Cook-Out" and serves a menu just like it sounds. The Greensboro location of this North Carolina-based chain has a drive thru on both sides of the building. For those who are motor-less, they also offer a walk-up. But there's nowhere inside to go; it's called Cook-Out for a reason.A Sandwich a Day: Whole Hog Barbecue at the Skylight Inn in Ayden, NC
Known locally as Pete Jones' Barbecue, Skylight Inn is a barbecue shrine ensconced in the farm country of eastern North Carolina—and one of the only places in the state (or in the country, for that matter) that still serves wood-smoked, whole hog barbecue.The Search For America's Best Hot Dog: Down South
So far, we've told you about the East Coast contenders. Now it's time to move down South. Before this journey, the South was a bit of a mystery to us in terms of hot dogs. I had a vague notion of slaw dogs being pretty good, but the region is more often than not overlooked in the hot dog media.The reality is that hot dogs are everywhere below the Mason-Dixon line, as much or more so than other areas considered to be the epicenters of hot doggery. Here are our 16 favorites.Hot Dog of the Week: Pulliams Toasted Hot Dogs in Winston Salem, North Carolina
Pulliams Barbecue is an 100-year-old shack on the outskirts of Winston Salem, down the road from a bingo hall and a pawn shop. It's up there with Charlie's Pool Room in terms of the coolest places I've ever eaten a hot dog. Covered floor to ceiling in Nascar memorabilia, old photos, hand-made signs, and Budweiser boxes taped to the ceiling as makeshift posters. It's called Pulliams "Barbecue" but everyone comes for the hot dogs—some of the best in the south.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
