Former Charlotte Observer food writer Kathleen Purvis also weighs in on the best new barbecue joints

From this Charlotte Observer article on Noble Smoke’s opening, I found out the interesting tidbit that Joe Kindred (of Kindred and Hello, Sailor) used to work for Jim Noble

He started getting serious about opening a barbecue restaurant around 2008, but he kept getting delayed. Joe Kindred, a former intern for Noble who has since opened his own restaurants, remembers going all across the state with Noble and stopping at barbecue places along the way.

Daniel Vaughn says the best thing on the menu at Franklin Barbecue is the beef rib

.@bbqsnob can't tell you whether the time and expense it takes to secure a Franklin Barbecue beef rib will be worth it for you, but he can tell you that it's the best thing on the famous joint's entire menu. https://t.co/Oehsf5Kn7o

The story behind George Leach, former Indiana University basketball star and owner of OooWee BBQ in Charlotte

The backyard grill took barbecue out of the South, according to an excerpt from Jim Auchmutey’s new barbecue book “Smokelore: A Short History of Barbecue in America

ICMYI, a great story on the history of Carolina barbecue from Charlotte Magazine

Carolina barbecue began on the coast in the 16th century, worked its way toward the mountains, separated into eastern and western, and still feeds us and defines our state. But the old barbecue culture is fading fast. Can it last, or is it bound to change? https://t.co/5FRiWDzRq0
