Duck fat does not equal NC BBQ. It's a bit on the foofoo side.
Show biz is show biz.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that Skylight Inn consistently serves the best BBQ I've ever eaten. Period.
If you ever find yourself near Greenvile-Ayden, NC, you owe it to yourself to stop by. The flat cornbread, sweet slaw and their BBQ with crunchy skin pieces chopped in is incredible.
I'm done with this damn show. They couldn't find a team to represent a region if they stepped on them. Duck fat and NC BBQ??? WTF. I've lived here 15 mins from Charlotte my hole 32 yrs and have never heard of Saucemans.
Now, thanks for lettin me vent a little.
Since he couldn't seem to barbecue or roast the belly bacon, I could have swallowed this whole thing a lot better if he had fried the bacon in lard, instead of quack fat.... (I use lard for special basting on the cooker,.. it does deliver a porky flavor 'cause it comes from a pig!!!)

NC BBQ isn't on the top of my list, actually. It's too mushy and just not all that great, IMO. That being siad, I still like it. So, this episode is particularly interesting.
I will never forget the first time I enjoyed Eastern NC BBQ. The gal waiting on me asked me if I wanted some "dee-up" (dip). I had no idea what she was talking about and her accent only made it worse. I asked several times "dee-up?" trying to figure out what she was saying. Finally, she shaked the sauce bottle in front of my face exclaiming "Dee-up! Dee-up!"
Great times, there! :laugh:
