8/4/2009 10:21:01 AM

They use atkinson mills cornmeal. Local. Delicious.

8/4/2009 10:39:46 AM

Suprised nobody mentioned that Ed Mitchell was on the Today show on the 30th.

The food is very ordinary. The interior/atmosphere is nice though.

8/4/2009 2:06:32 PM

The Pit did so much business on saturday (2 days after the Today show aired) that they ran out of food, yes completely ran out of food. They sat somewhere around 650 people for lunch, and well over 900 for dinner and had to close around 10pm.

The place is blowing up.

8/4/2009 3:14:43 PM

Parkers in Wilson FTW

/thread

8/4/2009 3:19:12 PM

parker's is ok. their chicken is good. the bbq is average. the one in wilson seems slightly better to me than the one in greenville.

[Edited on August 4, 2009 at 3:21 PM. Reason : they are chicken lol]

8/4/2009 3:20:54 PM

Was Ed on The Today Show last week?


Cause my mom and dad went to The Pit on Friday night and said it was packed.

8/4/2009 3:21:33 PM

Got something for you people who love this joint... you better get on it fast! I'm sure Raleigh's elite will be all over it with a quickness:

At this rate, I imagine it's only a matter of time before all the pigs have a tuxedo dress code before they're sent to slaughter.

8/5/2009 7:02:43 PM

^^ yup i saw saw it

8/5/2009 7:04:12 PM

i'm not sure how i feel about a bbq place with "wine pairings"

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:06 PM. Reason : i do know it's not for me]

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:06 PM. Reason : everybody knows the only thing that goes w/ ENC bbq is sweet tea]

8/5/2009 7:05:48 PM

And natural light

8/5/2009 7:09:02 PM

i've never had good bbq at a place that served alcohol

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:10 PM. Reason : pig pickin in somebody's backyard is best though so whatever i just live]

8/5/2009 7:10:09 PM

there used to be a pork festival in Emporia, VA, that had all sorts of good bbq and ribs along with all you can drink beer.

8/5/2009 7:33:43 PM

"all sorts of good bbq"

there is only one good kind. eastern north carolina hawg.








JUST KIDDING Y'ALL SOME OF THAT STUFF THEY GRILL IN TEXAS ISN'T BAD

8/5/2009 7:35:31 PM

this thread reminded me that I still have 16 pounds of bbq in the freezer and no slaw. it may be time to go to the store.

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:36 PM. Reason : beef bbq is always better than hog bbq.]

8/5/2009 7:35:49 PM

^^this is straight up Wilson County bbq


The Pit = Ed Mitchell = Mitchell's BBQ in Wilson = shut down for tax evasion ^i

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:37 PM. Reason : ^i had the beef brisket at the pit...it was amazing]

8/5/2009 7:37:05 PM

didn't that place catch on fire before he got in trouble for tax evasion?

8/5/2009 7:38:54 PM

fuck wilson

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:39 PM. Reason : i've never eaten at mitchell's]

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:40 PM. Reason : beef brisket is not ENC]

8/5/2009 7:39:33 PM

don't hate on the one place in eastern NC that's not a dump.

8/5/2009 7:40:30 PM

^^^yeah...but they remodeled/expanded after that...

i went in high school before the fire and it was a little one room joint with a buffet and card tables with plastic fold up chairs


you should try the mac and cheese at the pit...it's just like home made

^^i was commenting on his post...not yours...

^yeah...he's from pikeville or something

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:41 PM. Reason : asdf]

8/5/2009 7:40:48 PM

homemade is subjective. the mac n' cheese made in my home comes out of a box with powdered cheese.

8/5/2009 7:43:33 PM

i'm from eastern wayne county between goldsboro and lagrange.

wilson has a ghetto area just like most of the "dumps" you're referring to

8/5/2009 7:43:40 PM

^^this is like grandma made it with butter and velveeta and milk and fat noodles


^my bad...dudley then


we just call that the hood...not wilson

8/5/2009 7:45:09 PM

that's not fucking dudley

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:48 PM. Reason : learn some geography, sucka]

the difference is that Wilson actually has some very nice areas and sucessful businesses instead of just being one oversized ghetto throughout like the rest of the towns in eastern NC.

8/5/2009 7:49:19 PM

you're right

8/5/2009 7:50:53 PM

my daddy always told me nothing good ever came from highway 117

8/5/2009 7:53:29 PM

haha that's about right. i'm not from close to 117, though.

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 7:55 PM. Reason : dudley is like 90% crack heads]

8/5/2009 7:54:37 PM

i'm just getting every shot at wayne county that i can...

the most psychotic adult i've ever known in my life was from la grange...

he was like 10 years older than me and people 10 years younger than me knew about him and how psycho he was

8/5/2009 7:56:30 PM

la grange is lenoir county

8/5/2009 7:57:25 PM

i know that...

i was addressing separate statements

8/5/2009 7:58:05 PM

oh, ok

8/5/2009 7:58:34 PM

just had it for lunch for the first time

meh

that's right, tww

i broke out the ultimate "fattie does not approve" rating

meh

i'd be very upset if i spent more than 4.25 on that slop

8/25/2009 1:40:52 PM

mitchell's was way better than the pit

8/25/2009 4:00:30 PM

Recommendations?

4/6/2013 1:15:08 PM

Didn't they change management recently?

4/6/2013 1:24:35 PM

this thread is inspiring me to cook a pork shoulder soon

4/6/2013 1:32:58 PM

The Pitt never impressed me, especially with the price point.

4/6/2013 2:04:52 PM

^^^I guess? Ed Mitchell left.

Go to Cooper's instead.
