North Carolina Pulled Pork Barbecue Joints |
A plain white beacon on a hill by a service road, the establishment founded by Wayne Monk in 1962 is the epitome of Lexington barbecue. It is marked by a no-nonsense understatement. From the unornamented signs in the parking lot, to the unornamented menus on the counter, to the unornamented ticket on which your order is taken, to the unornamented WHITEWONDER paper sack in which that extra pound of takeout is stowed, the barbecue itself does the speaking. It is told that Monk got a call from President Ronald Reagan to feed the attendees at the 1983 Economic Summit. Upon his return from the bash, Monk reported that the heads of state were not nearly as picky, or as smart, about their barbecue as the folks back home. Judging by the endless stream of happy customers, Monk is the smartest - and pickiest - of them all ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
