Some New News About an Old War.
1. DID MY "QUE" THING-- Yesterday, we stopped in that "Cradle of Que" called Lexington, North Carolina, and ate at the Barbecue Center, one of the best-known of the over twenty area bbq joints around Lexington, which bills itself as the "Barbecue Capital of the World."
Great stuff!! Pit-cooked pulled pork with a bit different flavor from my eastern Carolina stuff, but good nonetheless.
2. MISSED THE HUNLEY, AGAIN-- I see that this past weekend, the H. L. Hunley Mobile Exhibit was on view here around Charleston, WV, at the Putnam County Civil War Weekend. So, I didn't get to see the real thing OR the replica.
The flyer said it is a full-size replica of the Hunley built in 2004 by John Dangerfield and Holton Cutler and 15 volunteers.
3. SC "CUE"-- While in Charleston, we also had the opportunity to try some mustard-based South Carolina barbecue at Bessinger's. Great 'cue"as well, and in a unique place to eat it. Loved those onion rings as well.
