Whenever I am out of town for an extended trip I always try to find some local BBQ. A local recommended Bubba's, and I decided to give it a try.\n\nThe location is nothing pretentious, just your basic hole in the wall BBQ joint. They do Eastern North Carolina Style BBQ (vinegar and pepper sauce), and they have a red tomato based sauce for chicken and ribs.\n\nI had a combo of chopped pork bbq and a bbq chicken breast quarter. The chicken was incredible, and the sauce, a little on the spicy side, complimented it very well. The BBQ was just a little dry and definitely needed sauce, and the vinegar sauce complimented it very well too. I also had slaw, baked beans, and a small bowl of Brunswick stew. I wish I had ordered something other than the slaw--I'm sure there are people who like vinegar based cumin seed full slaw, but I prefer mine mayonnaise based--just personal preference. The beans were exquisite, you could taste the molasses and brown sugar in every bite. The Brunswick stew was the most different I had ever seen. It had the consistency of a cross between white chicken chili and chicken and dumplins. It was quite good and included chicken, tomatoes, lima beans, and corn. Although it was different it was some of the best I've ever tasted.\n\nIf I were a local I'd definitely be a regular.
