Hannah's Bar-B-Q - Lenoir, NC

Hannah’s serves Eastern North Carolina style barbecue: pork shoulder that is finely hacked into something almost like a hash, with occasional shreds of dark, chewy “outside” meat among the soft, pale “inside” pork. The taste is slightly smoky, slightly sweet, and the meat packs a luscious moistness that is virtually intoxicating.

"For under $20, four people can feast in their car. "HP" on the sign stands not for "Higher Power," but for "Hush Puppies," the crisp-fried cornmeal dough balls that always accompany barbecue in this region. "

"This is the way barbecue is served in a wide orbit around Lexington, North Carolina -- chopped fine, sided by hushpuppies, slaw, and potatoes. To drink: sweet tea, of course"
