Quotes

Wilber Shirley quote slaw

July 8, 2014August 1, 2014 / Barbecue Bros / Leave a comment

I won’t even sell someone a barbecue unless they get coleslaw. If they want a barbecue and they don’t want coleslaw, there’s something wrong with that person. It all goes together.

Wilber Shirley, owner of Wilber’s Barbecue in Goldsboro (source)

In honor of Barbecue Rankings stop by Wilber’s, I figured this was as good a time for this quote as any.

Write about the succulent glories of Tar Heel barbecue at one’s own peril. It’s much safer to take on the National Rifle Association.

Barbecue is the third rail of North Carolina politics.

I’m not throwing stones at those who do, but if you cook your meat with electricity or gas, you do not have barbecue; you have roast pork. And you can do that with an oven in your kitchen.

Jim Early, founder of the NC Barbecue Society

This week on the blog Monk has compiled his “Ultimate Charlotte Barbecue Plate” with meats from @jongsbbq, @noble_smoke, @sweetlewsbbq, @midwoodsmokehouse, and @thesmokepit. Link in profile.
As a follow-up to our favorite #cltbbq joints post from Wednesday for our new or recent followers, here's five of our favorite spots within an hour-ish drive from Charlotte.
#tbt to my first (and maybe best?) brisket shot from @jongsbbq on this date 4 years ago from the pop-up tent at @southern_range in downtown Monroe.
Welcome to our new or recent followers! If you've wandered over to our IG account recently, here's our Charlotte top 5 after almost 9 years of trying just about every place in the greater Charlotte area (50+).
A couple of notable barbecue joints are located off Winston Rd in Lexington within less than a half mile of each other: Speedy’s and Smiley’s. Eventually, NCDOT is planning to widen this road (also known as Hwy 8) and will likely force both restaurants to close at their current locations. Timing is currently not known as of the last time I stopped in at Smiley’s last fall. -Monk #streetsignsaturday
#tbt to 2 years ago today introducing @bbqtourist to @lewdon4 @sweetlewsbbq
This week, we have a product review of Matt's Rub, an all-purpose rub from @midwoodsmokehouse which Monk has used extensively for the past two years. Home page link in profile.
Happy Firebox Friday from our visit to @owlbearbarbecue in Denver way back in the before times of August 2019 -Monk #fbf #fireboxfriday
Leftover pork belly burnt ends 👌🏼
