I need some BBQ! (Chapel Hill, Wilson: sale, chapel, buy)

[JustMeEC]

I realize I'm treading into some passionate waters here by bringing up BBQ. I've recently moved into Apex and I shamefully haven't had any BBQ yet. My parents are coming down this weekend and my dad is a big BBQ fan. I've been to Allen and Sons near Chapel Hill and it was amazing, but it's farther than we're looking to go this weekend. I've heard mention that Danny's is quite good.

Any suggestions on where we should go?

We just tried City BBQ off Kildaire near Trader Joes. Very good! Danny's is good, but I find their meats are often too dry for my taste.

Darn. Allen and Sons is the best around here, in my opinion.

I just recently took to cooking my own with a lean pork loin in the crock pot, and I have to tell you that it is DELICIOUS. And not fatty!

I go to Backyard BBQ Pit on 55 pretty often. I agree with the comment that Danny's tends to be too dry.

I had the pulled pork at City. Surprising good for an Ohio company.

If it matters, Danny's is not (and doesn't claim to be) NC BBQ.

Once you are settled, get a Kamado Joe or Big Green Egg and make your own.

I do this a lot too. And I use a NC made sauce. Turns out great! Sometimes I do it on low on the grill too.
I had City BBQ, it's decent but I did not like Danny's at all.

We started making our own pulled pork and making the sauce, it's great.

I have never been to Allen and Sons but want to try it. I recommend Smokey's BBQ Shack in Morrisville. Be warmed they get busy at lunch time!

We made our pork in the crockpot. Couldn't be easier. I buy boneless pork loin at Kroger when it's on sale for $1.99. It is so tender - even after being frozen.

Why not take your dad to enjoy the best Eastern NC barbecue? Easy drive to Parker's Barbecue in Wilson. A Eastern NC institution and worth the drive for Eastern NC barbecue.

Back yard is the place.
