At the Nantahala Outdoor Center.

The famous train wreck scene in the 1993 Warner Brothers blockbuster movie The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones was filmed in Dillsboro along the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. The wreckage set can still be viewed on eastbound Tuckasegee River Excursions departing from Bryson City.

The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad was also used in the filming of 1996 Warner Brothers comedy My Fellow Americans starring Jack Lemmon and James Garner when they stumble on to a charter train full of UNC-Chapel Hill fans headed for the NCAA Final Four.

Train scenes in the 1998 DreamWorks SKG film Forces of Nature starring Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock were also filmed on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.]]>

Ahhh, live hardwood coals used to cook the meat. It's not enough to burn actual hardwoods to create beds of red-hot coals just below the racks where the pig parts slowly bask in the warmth of their destiny, any fool can cook anything over coals, but it takes a true Master BBQ Chef such as Lloyd Lewis to know exactly how thick the coal bed should be and exactly how long and when to turn the pigs before bringing them off the heat and then how to not just prepare but scrupulously groom the meat of all "nasty bits" of extra fat and burned edges of skin and things that you don't want in your mouth and then top the meat off with a plain but flavor-enhancing Eastern-NC-Style vinegar-based sauce that is so good it has to be tasted to be believed. ]]>

The United States Douglas Skystreak (D-558-1 or D-558-I) was a single-engine jet research aircraft of the 1940s. It was designed in 1945 by the Douglas Aircraft Company for the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, in conjunction with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The Skystreaks were turbojet powered aircraft that took off from the ground under their own power and had unswept flying surfaces.

The chopped barbecue is chopped to a medium consistency with outside brown meat mixed in with the regular meat. The blend produces a tender offering with a good smoky taste. The outside brown kicks in to add even more flavor. The chopped barbecue is slightly moist and is delicious without sauce. With Richard’s secret sauce added, it is the stuff fit for kings.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/little-richards-barbecue/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/little-richards-barbecue/ Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:47:37 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/little-richards-barbecue/ 36.08254000 -80.34280800 <![CDATA[Jackson's Big Oak Barbecue]]>

The chopped barbecue comes in a moderately coarse chunky chop. It is without a doubt the smokiest, woodsiest, richest tasting ’cue you will ever eat. It’s a good mix of outside brown with inside white and fat, but not greasy. This barbecue is not just good; it is great. Fantastic flavors explode in your mouth. You will pound the table and your toes will crimp. It’s that good.

White Swan Bar-B-Q features award winning genuine Eastern North Carolina pork barbecue. Made from a 50 year old secret recipe, White Swan Bar-B-Que has been voted one of the top 25 Bar-B-Qs in the SouthEast. Eastern North Carolina Bar-B-Q is unlike any other in the world. It's a taste that you must experience. Our Bar-B-Q is made with a vinegar and spice sauce which enhances the smoked flavor of the fresh pork. The pork is slowly cooked in a covered cooker which holds in the smoked flavor. The meat is then chopped, ready to eat. Great on sandwiches in a hamburger bun with cold slaw or buy itself, there is no other Bar-B-Q like it.]]>

The pork shoulders are roasted slowly over wood coals and hand chopped. The chopped barbecue is moderately coarse with nice large pieces. It is moist and has a good smoky flavor with outside brown mixed in with inside white. A nice pink color shows the smoke penetration. It has a nutty flavor and is not sauced in the kitchen. With barbecue sauce, it has a nice mild, rich flavor. It’s a good beginning and a good finish with no lingering aftertaste. The sliced barbecue is thick and pink throughout (smoked to the bone). It’s tender and very moist for sliced barbecue. The sauce helps bring out the nutty brown flavor from the hickory wood. It tastes like pulled pork from a pig pickin’. It’s the best.]]>

Deano’s chopped barbecue comes generously sauced from the kitchen. It is very moist, vinegary, slightly sweet, hot (but not too much so) and is pound-the-table good. Deano’s coarse-chopped barbecue (my favorite) is sauced while cooking but not additionally in the kitchen. It tastes like moist ham. Good outside brown meat is mixed in with the regular chopped and coarse chopped meat. The slightly brown pieces of meat keep the barbecue from having a gray appearance, as is the case with so many barbecue places. In addition, they give each bite that pungent smoky taste that makes the flavor explode in your mouth. Deano’s sliced barbecue is the white part of the shoulder. It is moist, tender and melts in your mouth. When it holds hands with the sauce, they dance!]]>

The food that the friendly, efficient wait staff at Country Barbeque bring to the table is quite good. The joint serves moist, tasty barbecue that is chopped to an ideal consistency—not too fine and not too chunky. The dip that accompanies the ’cue is an excellent, sharply vinegared dark brown mixture that is reminiscent of the dip served at Lexington #1. The red barbecue slaw that accompanied my ‘cue was good, although a little bit sweet for my taste. The hush puppies were only mediocre, as they were small and somewhat overcooked. I had a better than average piece of homemade peach cobbler for dessert. ]]>

The coarse-chopped barbecue was an offering of nice and tender hunky pieces that melt in your mouth. The outside brown and inside white gave this ’cue a scrumptious flavor and a nice texture. The flavor of the coarse-chopped ’cue is rich, robust, smoky, nutty, slightly sweet and so fresh. The sliced barbecue is Myran’s good ’cue at its best. These thick, tender slices of yummy roast pork are almost like a pig pickin’. It is lean with no fat and so tender you can cut it with a fork. This is pound-the-table good pork barbecue. Alternating bites of outside brown and inside white kept my taste buds dancing.”]]>

When I asked James what his secret was to finding that perfect balance between the otherwise strong taste of the mustard if it was anyone but himself creating their "secret" sauce and the succulent flavor of their consistently perfectly cooked pork Boston Butts and pork shoulders ("we use one Boston Butt to every two pork shoulders because that's the best parts of the pigs, we do not use the whole-hog just to save money like so many other barbecue places do"-James) which are then fine-chopped but not mushy-chopped, he looked me right in the eye and replied: "salt . . . I use just a tiny bit of extra salt to help bring up the flavor of the meat once the sauce is applied to it; too little salt and you don't taste the pork at all, too much and it makes it taste, well, too salty; I also slow-simmer each batch of sauce that I make myself for hours on hours, hand-stirring and slowly working the consistency of it to where it needs to be, based on my now 50 years experience working here, learning the secret to it at my father's knee". ]]>

The place is cafeteria-style, and although my intention was to try the BBQ, the fried chicken caught my eye and mood so I went for that, plus the famous collards, and some green beans as well. The chicken was as good as fried chicken comes - very fresh, thin, crispy crust, juicy and tender meat underneath. The green beans were great as well - they were the thick, flattened variety, clearly fresh. but those collards, man those collards. There's a reason that Bum's provides the collards for the Collard Festival - these were the best collards I've ever had, which I wasn't expecting considering how they are chopped very fine (almost a puree) - but wow, explosion of flavor. Now I understand why people from out-of-state have reportedly taken a couple quarts of collards back home with them. So meat, two veggies, cornbread + stick, and sweet tea for $6.50.]]>

Q. is the kind of place movie directors scout out--beautiful early '60's decor (blue vinyl, wood panelling, Coca Cola sign over the grill) and the clientele to match. Hog heaven!

And the trefe ain't bad, either. The pork has a delicious, smoky flavor, and the slightly thick dipping sauce is the perfect complement. The Blue Mist has been in operation since 1948, and it shows.]]>

Whispering Pines carries a huge reputation in North Carolina barbecue. They are often mentioned in the same breath as venerable Lexington establishments.

They cook shoulders in the Lexington tradition, except that I find their dip (sauce) is a little more spicy. The meat is well penetrated with a delicate smoke flavor. The locals usually eat it on a plain sandwich bun with red slaw on top. Plates come with generous portions and trays are a little more modest.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/whispering-pines-barbecue/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/whispering-pines-barbecue/ Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:51:58 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/whispering-pines-barbecue/ 35.37368100 -80.19902600 <![CDATA[Log Cabin Barbecue]]>

Cobb’s chopped barbecue is a medium chop, very tender, with a rich, nutty, brown, smokey taste. It comes moderately sauced from the kitchen with a tangy true Eastern North Carolina sauce. This is a very clean ‘cue, no trash, i.e. gristle, bone, fat or too much skin etc. The ‘cue’s pronounced smoky taste comes from 16 hours on the pit. Rudy cooks Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The pigs go on the pit at 1:00 in the afternoon and come off at 5:00 AM the next morning.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jack-cobb-and-son-barbecue/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jack-cobb-and-son-barbecue/ Sat, 13 Jun 2009 14:23:26 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jack-cobb-and-son-barbecue/ 35.59308100 -77.58881600 <![CDATA[The Q Shack]]>

Grady’s barbecue is rich, nutty, brown, hand chopped pork with a smoky woodsy taste that only comes from slow smoking over wood on open pits. It is tender and juicy with specks of red pepper peeking out of coarse chopped ’cue that contains bits of outside brown and tiny bits of skin (bark). This ’cue is so good you don’t want to swallow it. It is one of the best eastern style ’cues one will ever taste – pure ’cue heaven on earth. The coleslaw is a fresh moderately chopped cabbage with mayo and a hint of pickles that make this garden fresh offering the perfect dinner companion for the rich ’cue.]]>

Even among fellow four-pig rated establishments, B’s is unique. Its perfect fine-chop Eastern-NC-Style BBQ is simultaneously perhaps the greasiest of all the 4-pig-rated ‘cues, the grease in it immediately staining your clothes if a bite of it falls from you sandwich or fork and hits your lap, while also being probably the easiest to digest, not making you feel too full or queasy basically no matter how much you eat, two facts I’ve never been able to quite reconcile. You eat an equivalent amount of barbecue from Cooper’s, Bullock’s, Wilber’s, etc. and you will feel twice as full as you will from the same volumetric and weight balance of meat from B’s; go figure? ]]>
