Another classic NC barbecue ad from this great tumblr. From what I can deduce from a quick Google search result, Casey’s was a barbecue restaurant in Greensboro circa 1956 that may have been just outside of the present day UNC-Greensboro campus near the intersection of Friendly Avenue and N. Aycock St.

I’ve lived in NC most of my life and until just now had never heard of this Carolina Barbecue chain seemingly associated with KFC from way back when. Nice prices for the barbecue dinner ($1.25), barbecue by the pound ($1.75/lb), or the family barbecue pack ($2.25 and serves 3-5 people) for those in the Research Triangle at the time.

Stately Sandwiches is a personal project where I bring people together to make and eat a signature sandwich for each state. 50 states, 50 sandwiches.
But of course its barbecue for North Carolina. You can check out the other sandwiches (and recipes) over at Stately Sandwiches.
