Monk: In East Durham, NC, Mike De Los Santos started doing barbecue sauces and rubs that mixed Hispanic and black flavors as a hobby but then a family tragedy refocused him to eventually open a brick and mortar restaurant called Mike D’s BBQ Smokehouse. Last December, his wood-smoked barbecue joint earned Best New North Carolina Barbecue from Eater Carolinas.
