The first tub of ready 'que is already on the table, and he does have a crackerjack organization, so I'm sure things will start moving very quickly at the stroke of noon. Try it the eastern N.C. way, on a bun, with coleslaw to slake a bit of the vinegary edge. There'll probably be little tubs of sauce if you want extra.

The amount of meat on my plate was the size of my palm and about a half inch thick. And I'm a girl with reallly small palms. Sun Jun 12 10:55:53 -0700 2005 1187822 0 Elaine 2 1187908 That's too bad. I went really early and got a huge portion. Sun Jun 12 17:36:51 -0700 2005 1187883 0 Chorus Girl 3 1187957 We went around 2:30 pm on Sunday, and it was a 45 minute wait. We got a pretty generous portion of meat, two strips of cracklings, and coleslaw. Definitely more meat than coleslaw. Very good, overall!

I think the problem is that the portion sizes at a lot of the places could be described as "variable". They were knocking out the orders at a busy pace with little attention to consistent quantity. At Mill's we only got 2 ribs but if you complained they would throw another on. Unless you have a big appetite I think it would take a vist on both days to have a fair sampling and comparison of everything offered from the 10 cookers plus deserts.
