somebody shut me the fark up.
When you want old school Lexington NC BBQ, skip all the touristy joints and head down the backroads to Cook’s BBQ!
Here is your guide to legit Lexington NC bbq.
1. It’s Pork shoulder
2. There is a stack of hickory wood easily visible out back
3. You can smell the bbq cooking long before you can see the restaurant
4. They offer dipt (on the side) along with their bbq (not sauce, but dipt)
5. It’s chopped pork, not pulled (I like coarse chopped, but you have to ask for it)
6. Hushpuppies are part of the meal
7. While you may think it’s a hamburger bun, in these parts it’s called a roll
