how in the hell have i never heard of this place?

my company got this for work today and it is the heat!

8/22/2008 1:09:05 PM

no, it's really not

totally overrated

8/22/2008 1:10:12 PM

haha

I am not sure with 15,000 posts you have not seen any of the other threads or posts.

8/22/2008 1:10:35 PM

this place and bojangles are both overrated more than ncsugirl83

8/22/2008 1:10:39 PM

bojangles is awesome.

coopers might be overrated.

8/22/2008 1:14:59 PM

I just ordered 9lbs of bbq from them last weekend


But honestly, I cannot tell the difference between them and any other BBQ place. It was good though... cheap too.

8/22/2008 1:19:04 PM

8/22/2008 1:22:09 PM

YAY!!! Karts and another thread about BBQ!!!!!!

8/22/2008 1:24:06 PM

well i think they are pretty good damn it!

8/22/2008 1:36:46 PM

cooper's is generally very good and cheap

some days, it's fucking incredible

i had it yesterday and it was good

but last tuesday fucking ripped my head off with sauce absorption

8/22/2008 1:43:09 PM

The 'cue at the nahunta pork outlet at the farmer's market owns cooper's so hard it's not even funny. I have had almost every 'cue in Raleigh except ole time and like Nahunta's the best. Thankfully my boyfriend agrees.

8/22/2008 1:44:42 PM

stop saying 'cue.

8/22/2008 1:54:07 PM

'Cue is better than BBQ.

Am I the only one here addicted to Nahunta's delicious offerings? Best part is that it's cheap, 2lbs for $10.

8/22/2008 1:56:17 PM

yes, you're the only one

because you're wrong

8/22/2008 1:57:02 PM

I have to agree Nahunta's CUE is good but Coopers is cheaper and closer to me

8/22/2008 1:57:11 PM

Huh? When I went to cooper's it was definitely more than $5 a lb. Not that I really care about a couple bucks if it means better food, but Cooper's tasted like there was mayo in it and I can never forgive that!

8/22/2008 2:00:19 PM

MAYO IN THE CUE!?!?!?!

8/22/2008 2:01:24 PM

look.

cooper's has been open for 70 years.

it's cheap, and they're not open for dinner, and they still make bank. there's a reason for that.

you're entitled to like nahunta more, but don't bring some lameass shit about tasting like mayo into a discussion about clyde motherfucking cooper's.

8/22/2008 2:06:40 PM

DAMN!


we need a photoshop of some kid making a weird face and the caption MAYO IN THE CUE?!?!?!

[Edited on August 22, 2008 at 2:10 PM. Reason : WHO PUT MAYO IN MY CUE!?!!]

8/22/2008 2:10:30 PM

There was definitely something funky with the stuff I tried from cooper's. I guess I should give them a second chance, but nahunta is so delicious and convenient I have been too lazy. Do need to go visit ole time.

Part of my problem is that I just get a lb to go when I order it, can't have a bun or hush puppies so I know I'm not getting the full experience. But eating bbq straight out of the container with a fork is so delicious I just don't care.

8/22/2008 2:18:51 PM

cooper's puppies are mediocre at best

but the skins are good

ole time puppies are the heat

8/22/2008 2:20:52 PM

I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT CUE SO ALL OF YOU SHUT UP


JUST SHUT UP OK

smithfields winz

8/22/2008 2:23:27 PM

at least old time can have hushpuppies as their claim to fame

because their barbecue sucks

8/22/2008 2:24:05 PM

puppies and cue

8/22/2008 2:24:11 PM

I've never eaten there*, but they are catering our engagement party





*my parents have eaten there

8/22/2008 2:25:56 PM

the sauce is good at ole time

but the cut is really too coarse for my liking

and i get outside meat way too often...like once in every sandwich

bah

COOPER'S!

8/22/2008 2:26:56 PM

Have not tried smithfield's either. Need to eat out more.

Definitely need to try ole time, I like the coarser cut stuff better.

[Edited on August 22, 2008 at 2:29 PM. Reason : ...]

8/22/2008 2:27:48 PM

last time i ate at ole time it was like eating a ball of vinegar

there is such a thing as WAY too much sauce

[Edited on August 22, 2008 at 2:28 PM. Reason : out of gas]

8/22/2008 2:28:28 PM

Smithfield's cue is just avg

8/22/2008 2:28:37 PM

i was just playin. smithfields is the McDonalds of BBQ

8/22/2008 2:29:21 PM

smithfield's is damn good considering they're a real no-shit fast food place...i mean, cookout has barbecue, but it isn't even fit to feed to a dog

once again, cut at smithfield's is a little too coarse

knightdale bbq used to be my favorite, but when they moved up the road and abandoned the old cookhouse the quality of the food took a fucking nosedive

i drove past a subway and they have pulled pork subs now...i was like WTF STAY OFF MY ETHNIC FOOD

8/22/2008 2:29:50 PM

where in Knightdale?

[Edited on August 22, 2008 at 2:30 PM. Reason : ..]

That was my experience at the barbecue lodge. Could not taste the meat it was soaked in so much vinegar.

Realized I have not tried holy smokes either, but they do not offer a to go option (at least not on their website).

8/22/2008 2:33:08 PM

Mel's BBQ is pretty good

8/22/2008 2:34:12 PM

Can not eat a bun. Can not eat hush puppies. Most of 'em use the same oil for the puppies and fries, so I can't even have those. Might as well take it home so I can wash it down with a nice import cider or have it on a gluten free bun.

8/22/2008 2:39:53 PM

you and sarah vowell should have a party

you're gonna have to be the goofy one, though

because she's way funnier as a straight man

can you be goofy?

8/22/2008 2:40:53 PM

lol

8/22/2008 2:41:28 PM

haha, i'm about to finish Take the Cannoli which will officially be the end of my week long obsession with all things sarah vowell
