 R.I.P., Pete Jones

R.I.P., Pete Jones Tue, 02/28/06 10:43 PM (permalink)
On Wednesday, 2/22/06, I visited the Skylight Inn -- aka, Pete Jones's BBQ -- in Ayden, NC, for the first time ever. Upon asking if the fellow chopping the pork was Pete Jones (the pitmaster), I was informed that Pete had passed away a few days ago (exact date unclear, probably 2/17 or 18). His son, however, is carrying on, and the pork was great -- IMO, it's the crunchy bits that make this Q special.

    Glad to hear it was great, I was worried about them. I grew 30 miles away and ate there monthly until moving to the Triangle. I posted a link to his death earlier which had been carried by WRAL out of Raleigh NC. Look for link: Alegend passes.

      Dear Guy, sorry about Pete.
      I keep seeing "IMO" written, please educate me on that!

              and ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing. Which is impossible to do and type at the same time, no?
