I tried it in Nashville. It was barbecued meat that had been drowned in some kind of yucky sauce. It was definitely not eastern NC pork BBQ with a vinegar-based sauce (basically vinegar, red pepper, and various secret ingredients, depending on who's cooking). Go to Raleigh or most of the towns along Hwy. 70 east and try Smithfield's Chicken and Barbecue. Their pork BBQ is a standard recipe that you might like. Their fried chicken is good too.
Excuse me, but I'd like to weigh in on Tennessee BBQ... it's majestic!
