Right? We all know Eastern Barbeque is so much better than Western. Vinegar based is the best! When I moved to the mountains, I was worried I'd never have the good stuff again.
Hello
We are not from North Carolina, but we have been to some pig pickins before. Does anyone have recommendations for a place that does a good job but at a fair price? Thank you!
Does the OP want a recommendation for a place to go to a pig picking or does he/she want a firm to cater to his/her location and cook a pig? Big difference. Our HOA once had Ole Time BBQ (of Raleigh) bring a pig in the cooker (cooked) to our location, along with the appropriate sides. Pretty good as I remember. Don't know the cost. Call some of the previously mentioned places for prices.
Indignant discussion of eastern vs. western sauce is hilarious. They're BOTH mostly vinegar. Western just has a small amount of ketchup in it. The difference is minute.
And I have the same question as Corgi Dad...waht is the OP looking for? A restaurant has presents a pig pickin' (doesn't really exist) or a caterer that will come do one?

Would you consider “Sticky Fingers” Carolina Sweet a Western Carolina style BBQ sauce?
If so, saying that and say Scott’s are similar is like saying a tire iron has only minute differences from an Apple.

No I wouldn't (nor would anyone else who's knowledgeable on the subject) because thats not true western NC style sauce. Western (or Lexington) style sauce is mostly vinegar with a small amount of ketchup and sometimes little brown sugar. Its almost as thin and just as vinegary as eastern style. Its not thick and sweet.

So there is no such thing as a “Thick, Sweet, Western Carolina BBQ” Sauce.

There’s nothing West of Lexington?
No idea what your point is, other than you just want to argue for no reason. True western (or Lexington) style bbq sauce is thin and mostly vinegar. The thick sweet stuff is from elsewhere. Just because someone packages something and gives it a similar name means nothing.
"Before I moved here, all I really knew was KC or Texas BBQ sauce..." Then don't argue with a native, ok?

I’m not trying to argue at all, this is y’all’s ish. I’m just a Yankee asking questions.
Here’s all I do know. When at The Pit, my wife uses the “Western” Sauce and it may as well be Sweet Baby Rays in terms of consistency/viscosity
If that isn’t “True Western NC” then cool.
I obviously don’t want to use the wrong nomenclature

Take is easy, Blackbeard.
I’m asking honest questions.
