From Sept. 7 through 9, 2007, we visited Chapel Hill, N.C. for "Camp Carolina," a three-day special event from Southern Foodway Alliance. It was an amazing three days, starting with a delicious local food, beer and wine reception at the classic The Carolina Inn (where we also stayed) through lectures, field trips and lots of opportunities for delicious Southern Food.
One of the highlights of the trips for me was meeting john T. Edge, one of my favorite food writers, who heads up Southern Foodway Alliance. I have all of John T.'s books, including "Southern Belly," "Fried Chicken," "Doughnuts" and "Hamburger." I had him autograph my copy of "Southern Belly."
John T. is an awesome guy and so passionate about his work. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and getting to know him.
Over the course of the next couple of days, we did several great things, including visiting the Carrboro Farmers' Market. This huge, seasonal market was amazing and filled with producers offering produce of all sorts, pork, beef, poultry and dairy, as well as prepared foods like jams, jellies and relishes.
We were fortunate that during our visit there was a special event - Southern Fare: Six Farm Fresh Recipes from Six Local Chefs who regularly shop at the market.
These chefs included:
Kevin Callaghan of Acme
Damon Lapas and Jonathan Childres of The Barbecue Joint
Charlie Deal of Jujube
Bret Jennings of Elaine's on Franklin
Amy Tornquist of Watts Grocery
Andrea Reusing of Lantern Restaurant
Speaking of Lantern Restaurant, later during our trip we visited for an incredible meal. The menu, written with the farm-to-table concept in mind, comes from chef Andrea Reusing, who also heads the local Slow Food USA chapter.
More food we loved came from Allen & Son Barbeque, just outside Chapel Hill. This was classic North Carolina-style barbecue, and some of the best I've had. The smallish, single floor wooden eatery was filled with country charm. Green gingham tablecloths, super sweet iced tea, piquant vinegar-based sauce, creamy cole slaw and perfect pulled pork made it an especially memorable meal.
An incredible meal was also enjoyed at Bill Smith's Crook's Corner.
Other stops included the area Whole Food to look at their selection of local produce. We didn't stop by A Southern Season, a gourmet purveyor, on this trip, but it is almost always on my must-visit list whenever I am in town.

Q39 is a competition BBQ joint in KC. In my humble opinion, this is the best BBQ in the city (although the burnt ends at Joe's are the best). I would particularly recommend the ribs as they are the finest Ive ever had.

Some days at work are incredibly hectic. Meeting after meeting, emails trickling in at a constant pace. Conference calls. Sometimes I don't make it outside until the end of the day. Luckily for me, my co-worker, Paul ran out to get me a sandwich today. I handed him a 10 spot and told him to simply get me "anything with pork." What he came back with was this warmed pulled pork sandwich. I have no idea where he got it from, but I happily munched away while sitting in on yet another conference call. I am grateful for his assistance in keeping the 30 days of pork alive for me.

Jerk Pork Sandwich at Armsby Abbey, Worcester, MA.
"Roasted & pulled pork, über spicy jerk sauce; carrot, raisin & cabbage slaw, served on a fresh baked roll”
$14
OUTSTANDING!!
(No flash, no fry in the ketchup)
smoked for 4 hours at around 250F and then finished in the oven at 230F until the internal temp reached 195F (about 4 more hours, but use your thermometer!)
Then I took the pork out of the oven and wrapped in another layer of foil and placed it in an empty insulated ice chest until I was ready to pull it. Use any juices that have collected and mix it back in with the meat for more flavor. Or you can mix in a vinegary Carolina-style BBQ sauce into the meat, as well.

Pulled Pork Sliders. Excellent food, great bartenders too. One had just passed his BAR exam and the other was some sort of micro-bio science genius.

One of the highlights of the trips for me was meeting john T. Edge, one of my favorite food writers, who heads up Southern Foodway Alliance. I have all of John T.'s books, including "Southern Belly," "Fried Chicken," "Doughnuts" and "Hamburger." I had him autograph my copy of "Southern Belly."
John T. is an awesome guy and so passionate about his work. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and getting to know him.
Over the course of the next couple of days, we did several great things, including visiting the Carrboro Farmers' Market. This huge, seasonal market was amazing and filled with producers offering produce of all sorts, pork, beef, poultry and dairy, as well as prepared foods like jams, jellies and relishes.
We were fortunate that during our visit there was a special event - Southern Fare: Six Farm Fresh Recipes from Six Local Chefs who regularly shop at the market.
These chefs included:
Kevin Callaghan of Acme
Damon Lapas and Jonathan Childres of The Barbecue Joint
Charlie Deal of Jujube
Bret Jennings of Elaine's on Franklin
Amy Tornquist of Watts Grocery
Andrea Reusing of Lantern Restaurant
Speaking of Lantern Restaurant, later during our trip we visited for an incredible meal. The menu, written with the farm-to-table concept in mind, comes from chef Andrea Reusing, who also heads the local Slow Food USA chapter.
More food we loved came from Allen & Son Barbeque, just outside Chapel Hill. This was classic North Carolina-style barbecue, and some of the best I've had. The smallish, single floor wooden eatery was filled with country charm. Green gingham tablecloths, super sweet iced tea, piquant vinegar-based sauce, creamy cole slaw and perfect pulled pork made it an especially memorable meal.
An incredible meal was also enjoyed at Bill Smith's Crook's Corner.
Other stops included the area Whole Food to look at their selection of local produce. We didn't stop by A Southern Season, a gourmet purveyor, on this trip, but it is almost always on my must-visit list whenever I am in town.

From Sept. 7 through 9, 2007, we visited Chapel Hill, N.C. for "Camp Carolina," a three-day special event from Southern Foodway Alliance. It was an amazing three days, starting with a delicious local food, beer and wine reception at the classic The Carolina Inn (where we also stayed) through lectures, field trips and lots of opportunities for delicious Southern Food.

It is burger & tallboy night, but don’t sleep on the house #smoked #pulledpork with our @rogueislandprovisions bourbon #bbq sauce ~ See you all tonight! 🍻 • • • • #foodie #foodtruck #eeeeeats #foodstagram #foodart #rogueisland #dinner #foodies #smoked #smokethegoodstuff #bbq #providence #thrillist #eater #arcadeprovidence
I didn't leave the rub on these ribs very long, so they came out good but not great...will have to prep them properly next time.
As he enjoyed the aroma of the pulled pork, Craig pondered his girlfriend's ultimatum...'become a vegetarian or we're through'... he decided he really would miss her sometimes.
