Local Food
Hearty Southern classics are sure to satisfy any appetite. Cornbread, biscuits and gravy, and sweet cobbler shouldn't be missed, but the main event in North Carolina is the barbecued pork. Enjoy it by the plate or tucked into a sandwich, accompanied by zesty slaw and a pile of crisp-tender hushpuppies.
