"Dome: N.C. BBQ worse than road kill, Perry said If Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry ever campaigns in Eastern North Carolina, he may have some explaining to do. According to "Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue," in 1992 when Perry was a promising Texas politician but not yet governor, he tried some Eastern North Carolina barbecue from King's of Kinston, which was served at the Republican National Convention in Houston. "I've had road kill that tasted better than that," Perry was quoted as saying. ..."

9/22/2011 1:39:18 PM

You eat road kill for breakfast?

9/22/2011 1:39:33 PM

Oh HELLLL NO

*snaps fingers*

9/22/2011 1:40:46 PM

this is not a soap box thread asshole

it's a nc BBQ chit chat thread

9/22/2011 1:41:17 PM

Fuck that guy.









I could never vote for someone that eats roadkill.

9/22/2011 1:41:52 PM

Someone needs to take Governor Perry to The Pit. I've heard rave reviews. (Like, best in NC good)

9/22/2011 1:42:04 PM

no

[Edited on September 22, 2011 at 1:43 PM. Reason : but then again i don't like restaurant bbq....the brisket was awesome though]

9/22/2011 1:42:43 PM

RAWR RAWR RAWR

PIT IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND ISN'T A FILTHY SHITHOLE

9/22/2011 1:42:58 PM

More like someone needs to push him into a pit

AMIRITE

9/22/2011 1:43:05 PM

Wait, so is The Pit good, but expensive. I don't mind paying 8 or 9 bucks if its REALLY that good.

9/22/2011 1:44:10 PM

RICK PERRY IS OVERPRICED

9/22/2011 1:44:13 PM

the pit is alright and expensive

9/22/2011 1:44:54 PM

What about their sides?

9/22/2011 1:45:18 PM

the mac and cheese was good

9/22/2011 1:45:36 PM

Take him to Coopers.

9/22/2011 1:46:04 PM

I'm not sure what is worse...that Perry doesn't like Eastern NC BBQ or that he has tasted roadkill.

Either way, fuck that guy.

9/22/2011 1:46:26 PM

this shit is old

my dead grandmother already emailed me about it in 1995

9/22/2011 1:46:59 PM

Another friend of mine said The Pit is only worth going to at lunch time when the prices are literally half the dinner price for the same portion. Ribs are the hit. Pulled pork is pretty good. The rest is just meh.

Or that he would compare BBQ to roadkill in the first place

^ That's how I feel about The Pit too. Great for lunch. For dinner not so much.

I just had a rage stroke. I reported that on Samwise16's fb wall.

9/22/2011 1:49:33 PM

^^
I've heard the full service bar also makes it a bit different than most bbq places.

9/22/2011 1:51:31 PM

9/22/2011 1:53:18 PM

I bet Rick Perry doesn't like pumpkin spice lattes either

well there's your problem

they took the bbq from kinston, nc to houston, tx

it was probably all stale and crusty by the time he ate it

that being said, fuck rick perry

9/22/2011 2:00:54 PM

Fuck you, Rick

9/22/2011 2:02:13 PM

RICK PERRY HAS NEVER TOUCHED MY DOG IN AN INAPPROPRIATE MANNER

9/22/2011 2:54:17 PM

It's not unheard of for a texan to look down on Carolina's lesser version of BBQ.

9/22/2011 3:03:44 PM

I could go for some bbq right about now... any style really. I'm not picky.

9/22/2011 3:18:39 PM

haha we have some clients in town and they're taking them to The Pit tonight

I was about to say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

but what the fuck do I care?

9/22/2011 3:23:57 PM

i cant imagine someone from texas would say this at a Texas venue in HOUSTON TEXAS LAND OF THE SLOWED

BURN HIM AT THE STAKE

if obama said the same thing you all would say "yea man i disagree but he knows best since hes a nigga and niggas INVENTED the art of BBQ"

WRONG ABOUT BBQ

WRONG FOR AMERICA

9/22/2011 3:37:14 PM

well to be fair i've never had Kings of Kinston. I've had shitty BBQ, and yeah, it does taste like roadkill.

So maybe Kings of Kinston sucks.


For all we know, dude followed up his sentence with "It pales in comparison to Parkers and Bills."

9/22/2011 3:37:19 PM

But Kings is awesome. Home of the pig in a puppy.

9/22/2011 3:37:50 PM

if this is the same Kings its a chicken shack that served bbq, back in my younger days we had em in jacksonville and several locations down east


the bbq wasnt great, but the chicken and fries was bangin

9/22/2011 3:38:47 PM

meh, you can pigs in pups at mecca

As someone not from NC and having never tried vinegar based BBQ until I came to State, my first reaction to NC BBQ was But over time I grew to like it. I can understand where Perry was coming from on this.

9/22/2011 5:39:00 PM

Inb4 shitstrom

9/22/2011 5:45:49 PM

^^My girlfriend was the same way, because her family was from West Virginia, so even though they lived in NC, they had to eat shit.

And she doesn't like vinegar.

But I make her eat it.

9/22/2011 5:56:51 PM
