Well, today I was glancing through this article from The Consumerist.  "Oh, a North Carolina man, eh?"

So...I clicked on through to the Yahoo article.  I read on... "Duke University Medical Center..." blah blah blah... "Manley's case eventually came to the attention of Dr. Momen Wahidi, director of interventional pulmonology at Duke."  Why does that name sound familiar?

...here's another YouTube video which was brought to my attention in a friend's Facebook discussion of Bar-B-Que.  This especially applies to those of you not from the South.

My one qualm with this video is that it implies NC only has one type of BBQ.  They're from NC...they should know better.  If y'all ain't from 'round here, ask me to explain it to ya.
