Bunn's Bar-B-Q

"A beautiful sight: Bunn's Bar-B-Q plate, set out on the counter and ready to eat. That Brunswick stew on the left is extraordinarly rich in flavor; the cole slaw at back has zing; and the cornbread square is appealingly chewy."

"If we look especially happy standing outside Bunn's, that's because this photo was taken just after eating inside!"

"Here's the front room, where you pay your tab after eating."

"Sauce in Eastern North Carolina is unique: it packs a vinegar-pepper punch and is more the consistency of a marinade than a thick tomato sauce. Bunn's meat comes slightly sauced and quite moist, so this good stuff isn't necessary; but it does add a nice kick to the meat. Texas Pete hot sauce is also available if you want a seriously incendiary meal."
Michael Stern



"Jane is sitting at the counter, waiting the approximately 60 seconds that passes between placing an order and the meal arriving. That's sweet tea at my place in the foreground."
Michael Stern



"While dining at Bunn's counter, we looked out the window and saw these heads of cabbage coming off a delivery truck. No wonder the cole slaw here is so crisp and fresh!"
