Ruby's BBQ Shack in Haw Creek NC (off tunnel road in Asheville). I had beef brisket, fries and slaw. Lisa had a pulled pork sammie. They had a BBQ sauce made with root beer, Jack Daniels, and habanero peppers that was killer.

Well worth a stop.

That sandwich looks pretty beefy (or porky, rather). If I were Jewish, I'd be sure to bring my sheet-with-a-hole-in-it to that place.

 

No fear bro - they remove the schmekel before they slice-n-dice the piggie. Just cuz its T’refah’ don't mean it ain't good eatin....

 

Sounds good. I'm an eastern NC, pepper-vinegar girl. Do they have that style there? I'm always looking for eastern carolina BBQ places .... Oh, do they have the skins?

 

You love you some BBQ, huh Richard?
I know exactly where that is, will have to try it out!

 

Yummm BBQ. Looks pretty good. Nothing like a little food-**** before bedtime!

 

Eww... BBQ....

(Can you tell I don't belong in the south? )

 

Oh yeah!

 

Go back up north, yankee boy!!!!!!!!

 

Unfortunately no eastern style there and no pork skins. My personal preference is for the mustard based Q but I love all.

You really might like their Root Beer/Jack Daniels/Jabanero sauce though. It starts off tasting really different and then turns into a nice slow burn but never gets too hot, just enough to be interesting.

 

Funny thing is, I was born and raised in SC. Same with my father, though my mother was from PA... Damn genetics!

 

Well, I'm from the South, South Brooklyn - yo you got a problem wid dat, or what? But I still love BBQ!

 

I'm with you wbarnhill. IMHO BBQ is like A1 sauce. It's what you use if you don't know how to cook meat.

 

Damn Yankees taking over the place...

 

I have had to pleasure of eating there and it is very good especially the sauce. Just got email from my buddy who was born and raised in Brooklyn and now is a retired snow bird, living in Long Island summer and The Villages in Florida in the winter. We are going to meet up in Florida for some BBQ on my way to Mickey & Mini's. He's not jewish, but if he were, don't think it would stop him from eating BBQ.

 

BBQ, the *best* food on the planet!

 

LEXINGTON BBQ is the best.

 

I've yet to find *any* that I didn't like.

 

Me either as if you couldn't tell

 

When I first moved down here from Brooklyn in 1978 I had never heard of BBQ before. When some colleagues suggest getting BBQ for lunch I was all excited - as far as I knew BBQ was hot dogs and burgers cooked outdoors over a grill. So I was in for quite a shock - I thought "What thhe heck is this stuff?"

One bite, though, and I was hooked.
