First time I’ve ever seen B’s mentioned in anything other than a local media piece. It’s the best BBQ in ENC, and believe me…I’ve tried nearly all of them.

Sam Jones is good but sort of expensive. He dials back the vinegar when chopping his pork. This means it’s dryer than Cue at other joints. OTOH, less vinegar allows more of that wonderful smoky flavor to shine through.

Yuck! Vinegar covered meat. Let’s go back to pre-refrigeration. 🤢

I love BBQ of all kinds. But anything west of Orange County is just sustenance.
