Linkdown: 2/28/24 – The Not So Great North Carolina Barbecue Debate Edition

Featured

Monk: Congrats to Garren and Kelly Kirkman of Jon G’s Barbecue, who 4 years ago yesterday purchased the former Barbee’s Barbecue in Peachland and turned it into the Jon G’s Barbecue we know and love today. They took a few months to get the place ready for business before opening in June of 2020. Have you made it out for a Barbecue Saturday yet?

  1. Thanks for the links! And you are spot on that the sauces are that much different. AS long as there’s a vinegar base and minimal sugar, a sauce will be good. I did a post on sauce emergencies – if you local store doesn’t sell Scott’s, buy any of the national brands and cut. it four parts vinegar to one part sauce and it’ll be fine.
