Today I decided it was time -- maybe overdue -- to again pay a visit to the neighborhood guy who makes the good stuff. He was going strong and as usual, I was not disappointed.
Had to stay home from work and visit the doctor's office due to the sickness. Grabbed a pulled pork bbq sandwich from Smokin' Al's on Hampton on the way home. This was the only thing I ate all day. Felt much better by the end of the day, though.
Jabo's pulled pork and coleslaw on a glazed challah bun. In this case, featuring jalapeƱo grape BBQ sauce.

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.

A nice Pulled Pork "competition" between the Weber OTP including smokenator, WSM 57 (22,5inch) and the BGE XL.
Okay so not a real competition as there are always to manny variables; meat is always different, ed. Still a nice thing to do.
In the end we did notice some difference especially about the tenderness. The BGE XL came out a little on top and after it the WSM. Have to say the thermometer of the OTP wasn't calibrated well,... unfortunately during almost the complete session the dome temperature was about ~20 degrees higher.
Well,.. we had loads of fun making this Pulled Pork. Best thing loads of PP. ;-)
Dump the pork / onion mixture into the pot and stir, stir, stir. You want to coat it all with your flavorful glaze.
May 7, 2011: With the leftover pulled pork, I made quesadillas with cheese and a homemade salsa, consisting of tomatoes, hot peppers, cilantro, and onions.
Pretty sure this is the bbq they would serve in heaven. First time using Fast Eddies Steak Seasoning. This stuff is great. Go get some: thestore.steakseasoning.com/
