Finally made it to @lawrencebarbecue's new downtown Cary spot yesterday, and it's even better than I anticipated. No BBQ this trip since I was saving up for @gettinpiggy_nc, but I did get the secret ingredients in that "super secret BBQ butter" on those oysters -- and, no, I'm not telling!
In my latest for @southernlivingmag, I paid a visit to @peddlersteakhousegreenville, which has been a special event destination for Greenvillians since 1969.

Forget bacon bits . . . The dehydrated and crumbled pepperoni on the Antipasto Salad at @lolarose_mtp are the 💣.
Holy moly! @heavysbarburger putting hot dogs on the map (new special): beer-steamed and flash-fried Vienna dog, @eatatsaffron top-sliced brioche roll, Stew's chili, mustard, pickled onions, and jalapeños.

New sandwich alert! The grouper Reuben at @rappbarchs: grouper cured overnight in pastrami seasonings then grilled and served on a soft bun with melted Swiss, red kraut, and Russian dressing. It’s a keeper.
Also the obligatory glamour shot of a dozen @rroysters . . .
More scenes from my latest Florida BBQ tour. Up next: @abbqmeatdrink in Atlantic Beach. Love the great open-air bar area and good cocktails, too. Solid brisket and turkey but the potato casserole stole the show.
Long-awaited visit to @beefykingorlando, supplying Orlando with beefy sandwiches since 1968. Tender folds of thin-sliced roast beef, diced onions, and melted white American cheese tucked inside a soft bun and steamed so it's all warm and shmoosy and holds together from first bite to last. Horsey, BBQ, or hot BBQ for saucing, plus my favorite,... More
