Hubby & I flew into CLT on our way elsewhere and drove past this little roadside joint early one Saturday morning. I spied it and said - On the way back, we ARE GOING there! The smell was amazing, and it just had that look of a place that a lot of folks wouldn't stop at. But I know good food when I see/smell it! Sure enough, on our way back out of NC last week, we searched for it, and finally found it, by following our noses. Heavenly Smell of hickory smoke and yummy meat & sauce! We decided on just going all out, and got a 1 lb container of BULK pulled pork, a large potato salad, and 1 sweet 1 tangy sauce to go. We figured we could make everyone on the plane jealous as we tucked into our fab dinner. As luck would have it, we were sitting about 15 aisles apart, and it was an over-full flight! So we didn't get to eat on the plane… Our BBQ had to wait until the next night. SO we carried this precious cargo by hand, in it's paper bag, thru 2 flights and a cab ride, put it all in the fridge at home and waited til the next night to dig in. 100% Worth The Wait!!!! I mixed about half the pork w/both tubs of sauce, heated it up on the stove, and we spooned it onto crusty rolls we bought fresh at home. The pork was luscious, the sauces were exactly right. The potato salad was about the best I've ever had, and I thought my Mom's could not be duplicated. (I had to dig out the little chunks of red peppers, cuz I'm allergic, but otherwise it was delish!)
