Lexington Barbecue

Steve’s take
Lexington is the BBQ capital of North Carolina — they have a festival and everything. Lexington Barbecue (locals call it 'The Honeymonk') has been serving Piedmont-style pork since 1962. The red slaw, the dip, the chopped pork — this is the real deal. About twenty minutes off I-77 and worth every mile. Your kids get barbecue and hush puppies. You get to say you ate at one of the most famous BBQ joints in the South. Closed Sundays.
