Grits??? How about I take him on the trip of the deep south and get him some liver mush to chew on?

hehe I warned him about the slaw already.

Both are really good. The other big difference is true Western Carolina uses the entire hog, white and dark mean, not just the shoulder (or boston butt as they are often called) which is only dark meat, fattier, and richer tasting. I prefer Western, but really they are both great. At least eat the hush puppies they'll give you with the 'Que.

We've got some great BBQ places around town if your up to it, but lets eat after we load cubs up. I'd hate for the suace to get on one of the cubs!

I got a feeling your going to be going hog wild down here!
