D.G. Martin is tired of adding “the late” to his favorite NC eateries, including several barbecue joints

Some of the founders and mainstays of my favorite barbecue restaurants and comfort food eateries died recently. So I have to insert “the late” beside their names when I describe their lifetimes’ great accomplishments, the eateries they made into an icons.

Say it ain’t so, Subway (it is so)

How is Subway marketing its new brisket sandwich? By using the image of Ramon Gonzales, a longtime employee of its brisket supplier (and referring to him only as “Pitmaster Ramone”). @bbqsnob investigates: https://t.co/RLfIEQsGrK

Charlotte’s Midwood Smokehouse got inspired by Valentina’s Tex Mex on a recent research and development trip to Texas; here’s hoping this becomes a more regular thing

We fell in love with these breakfast tacos from @valentinastexmexbbq during our R+D trip this week, so we’re popping up for just TWO hours on Saturday at @residentculture to do our versions of them for only a $1. The way only professional pit masters know how. pic.twitter.com/JnhyEEkM2g

The Old Hampton Store & Barbeque is part barbecue joint, part general store, and part music venue.

John Tanner’s BBQ Blog really batted for the proverbial Barbecue Bros cycle of NC barbecue in the Charlotte area with Lexington Barbecue, Noble Smoke, Sweet Lew’s BBQ, and Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge
