"A definitive eastern North Carolina barbecue sandwich: While cole slaw is optional, its mustard-tinged crunch pairs perfectly with the smooth, smoky pork hash."
Michael Stern
"To eaters accustomed to sauce-smothered 'que with pyrotechnical flavor antics, this style is a shock. It is an unsauced duet of smoke and swine, a good example of the Bauhaus maxim that less is more."
Michael Stern
"Deep-fried macaroni & cheese"
Michael Stern
"Here is how the mac & cheese arrives. Each piece is easy to pick up and makes an exciting alternative to hush puppies."
Michael Stern
"Nuggets of fried creamed sweet corn are a wanton indulgence."
Michael Stern
"Flip's sauce is tart, peppery and a magnificent complement for smoky pork. It is sold by the jarful, and proprietor Bob Church said he soon will be set up for mail-order."
Michael Stern
"Cool, soothing, sweet, and creamy banana pudding is an ideal dessert after a good hot barbecue meal."
Michael Stern
"Beau, the house mascot, spends his day snoozing on a couch near Flip's front door."
Michael Stern
"Flip's has been a destination barbecue parlor since Harry Truman was president. Its motto: Best BBQ West of the Atlantic Ocean."
Michael Stern
"I've yet to try the chicken or ribs, but based on pork alone, I sure intend to return to this friendly eatery."
Michael Stern
"The original Flip's, 1957. The Flipburger -- a fried boloney sandwich -- still is on the menu."
