– Sadly, a man was shot to death in the parking lot of BBQ Joe’s in Trinity outside of High Point, NC shortly before Christmas

– Adam Perry Lang’s APL will be more steakhouse than barbecue restaurant

Barbecue fans will want to come by for grab-and-go lunch.

APL’s dining room won’t be open for lunch, but Lang will offer to-go barbecue sandwiches out of a 70-square-foot space that used to be a one-chair barbershop.

“It’s going to be almost like a New York-style pizza window,” Lang says of his grab-and-go lunch set-up.

– The Shanghai (not China) Volunteer Fire Department held its annual Christmas fundraiser to supplement their budget

– Seasoned Review continues on the NC BBQ Trail at Stephenson’s Bar-B-Q in Willow Spring and finds it to be well worth the trek

– I’m on board!

North Carolina’s new state motto:
Nihil carnum fumosorum sine acido
