"Also chili and cole slaw on a burger is gross."

Chili, slaw, and mustard on top is called Carolina style and I prefer it on my hotdogs over burgers. Regardless, it's good...

(I like it better with the cheap canned chili, but maybe I'm weird)

Yeahhh I didn't get the Florida one either.

I've lived in Raleigh my whole life and almost none of those apply to me >_>

Is your family from NC?

5/23/2013 3:21:09 PM

omg that's a horrible fucking song, wagon wheel. i bet they played this every night at Capporale's and the Sleazy E.V.

somehow i was lucky enough to have missed this disaster. too bad i had to find out about it now.

5/23/2013 3:27:38 PM

I thought mayo on a burger was also a north carolina thing?



btw

5/23/2013 3:28:25 PM

mayo on a burger is a thing people with good taste do.

5/23/2013 3:32:20 PM

That reminds me that I really need to make a Cook Out trip.

Hootie singing wagon wheel is awesome...I never liked the hillbilly heroin version

5/23/2013 4:03:24 PM

awesome? hootie?

5/23/2013 4:07:09 PM

Hell yes to chili, slaw, mustard, onions on burger. And I add extra mayo to boot. I love me some Duke's, and recently my better half turned me on to JFG, which is just the shit.

Mom's from Austin, Dad's from NJ
We've been in NC for 23 years though.

When my brother went to college, he told people he was born in Wisconsin and nothing else (technically true, he lived in Wisconsin for about a year, then in Oklahoma for about two years, then lived in Raleigh for the next 15...), just because he wanted to deny being from the south

well, you must not have relatives that do this kind of weird shit. I think some of the things on this list are dying (thankfully). Every time my father is behind someone from Florida, he usually makes a comment on their driving.

5/23/2013 4:21:54 PM

I don't know, this list seemed pretty on key to me.

Florida drivers... I get it. On the coast we get so many tourists, and Florida license plates are both 1) identifiable and 2) in abundance, so I guess that's why. Slow drivers.

All you people that don't like the Carolina condiment trinity need Jesus. And some Duke's.

i just played the song and it sounds extremely familiar. i feel like i've heard it at various bars downtown at like 2am.

5/23/2013 4:40:54 PM

#2 only bothers me a little because I think that Sun Drop may have more lovin' that Cheerwine. But they are both southern classics.

I think a lot of this list is based on the western part of the state (or non-urban areas), too.

5/23/2013 4:49:27 PM

I haven't looked at this yet, and I think I will refrain to based on the amount of people posting, reposting, and rereposting this crap on FB

Yeah I'll slather that shit on hot dogs all day. But burgers

5/23/2013 4:50:42 PM

They call the chili/slaw/mustard burger at the Players' Retreat the "Wolfpack Burger", and it's delicious.

5/23/2013 4:53:50 PM

#11 is dumb. Ohioans are the ones that get pissy about the birthplace of aviation phrase.

5/23/2013 6:33:42 PM

Being half from Ohio and half from NC I know that the first flight was in NC. The whole "Birthplace of Avaition" motto comes from Orville Wright, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong being born in Ohio. Most people from Ohio do not know this because most people from Ohio are idiots.

5/23/2013 7:42:32 PM

And you're an idiot because you somehow think Armstrong or Glenn have anything to do with the 'Birthpalace of Aviation". Must be your Ohio side coming out.

5/23/2013 8:01:16 PM

HAHAHA! Like I said people from Ohio are idiots. I know Orville was born in Ohio, but I wasn't sure about his brother so I researched and the site mentioned Armstrong and Glenn with the motto. I never thought that. I should of used quotations. Even though they did fly into space.

5/25/2013 10:20:55 AM

Lots of people SAY it.

The problem is when they write it down.

5/25/2013 2:09:29 PM

I hate it when lazy journalists try to pass off a series of images with captions as though it were an article. Where does that make me from?

Spoiler alert: It's North Caro.lina

5/25/2013 2:27:16 PM

^^ or type it

5/25/2013 2:55:06 PM

On the coast it's not Florida drivers that are the worst, it's Pennsylvanians. Anytime you see those blue & gold bars you know chances are you're behind a fucking moron who checked his/her brain at the bridge. There's even a bumper sticker for it.

"4. You know it’s no fluke Asheville has been named Beer City for three consecutive years."

This has to be the most annoying one. I'm from NC and I find this so hilarious.

1) It's a fluke
2) It's an online voting poll, upon which only Asheville shows up each year to vote for themselves (and this year Grand Rapids voted for themselves)
3) You can't self-proclaim yourself "Beer City", if you do, see (1)
4) The top 5 breweries in North Carolina.... ready for this??? aren't in Asheville.
5) New Belgium & Sierra Nevada are opening expansions there because it's a central point for east-coast distributing upon which there happens to be quite a few breweries there even if they aren't the best.

But hey, I'm hoping New Belgium & Sierra Nevada ramp up the scene to better beer for Asheville, they do have a good culture, but not the same as San Diego, Portland, Denver

I actually love Wagon Wheel.

And I hate New Jersey license plates. They come down here and act like a bunch of jackbags.

5/25/2013 6:36:07 PM

It's important to note that Dylan wrote the good part of "Wagon Wheel."

5/25/2013 7:33:13 PM

There's a good part of that stupid song?

5/25/2013 8:05:24 PM

Dylan wants to die free.

5/25/2013 8:16:23 PM

I'd like that song more if every fuckface didn't start singing and swaying every time it comes on...

5/25/2013 8:50:17 PM

Two on this list are off for me:
1). Florida drivers needs to be replaced by any northeast state, preferably New Jersey.
2). The Christmas tree place (which I've never heard of) should be replaced by a visit to Bills Hot Dogs in Washington.

5/25/2013 9:26:18 PM

ive heard of mcaddenville and always wanted to check it out at least once. But id be pissed if it was like only main street or some random neighborhood instead of the whole town

5/25/2013 9:44:05 PM

Best state in the nation. NC

5/26/2013 1:26:30 AM

I think on the last page we already established that Florida drivers absolutely belong on this list. If you don't, then you need to get out more.

"pretty solid list until they got to that fucking Wagon Wheel song"

and it's not even that shitty band's fucking song.

it's a Bob Dylan song from a movie soundtrack that they changed some of the lyrics to.

edit, just saw vinylbandit already covered it.

Who actually drinks Cheerwine? Pepsi was invented in New Bern, so it should have made the list. At least it actually tastes good. This list reminds me of a column that was (or maybe still is) in the electric co-op monthly magazine.

5/28/2013 12:04:38 AM

Who DOESN'T drink Cheerwine?

5/28/2013 12:07:33 AM

^^^ Big deal. I assume you hate Led Zeppelin also.
