Lexington/Western Carolina Barbecue | Pour Choices Kitchen

I don't want any beef in my comments. Because this is all about that delicious Carolina pork. I grew up eating both styles but since my family is mostly on the westside, we're doing this style first! Don't worry east side, you'll get yours (if you behave in the comments). Smoked for 8+ hours, mopped down with a vinegar sauce, chopped and served either sandwich style or just straight up on a plate with some hush puppies and slaw. It's a great way to switch up the menu at your next cookout (because barbecue only means pork in North Carolina).
