The 15 Most Legendary Sandwiches in the United States-- Part 2:

8.  French Dip, Los Angeles, California  (Sure liked the ones at Hackney's in Lake Zurich, Illinois.)

9.  Pulled Pork BBQ, the Carolinas    (Few things better than Carolina 'Cue.)

10.  Monte Crisco  (Sure miss those Bennigan's montes.)

11.  Sloppy Joe

12.  Muffuletta, New Orleans, Louisiana  (More tastes than you can measure.  A real garbage sandwich.)

13.  Gyro

14.  Philly Cheesesteak, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

15.  Peanut Butter & Jelly  (I sure had a few of these growing up.)

Still Hongry.  --DaCoot

In North Carolina 'Cue Is a Cultural Thing, Even War

I'm from North Carolina originally and am a big fan of that eastern Carolina-style barbecue and will swear up and down that it is the best, but in actuality, must admit that I've never met a non-hot 'cue I didn't like.

From the July 3, 2011, Chicago Tribune "The war between the tastes in BBQ" by Kevin Pang. Notice the nice play in the Civil War's War Between the States?

"What's more, there exists a culture war in North Carolina, a divide as vast as the state is wide. In the eastern North Carolina style, the hog is smoked whole. meat from all parts of the pig, including crispy bits of rind, is chopped into a hash of pork textures. The sauce has a base of vinegar and peppers.

In the Piedmont version (also called western) ketchup and sugar is added to make it a sweet-sour taste. Also, instead of the whole hog, the shoulder is the favored cut.

The squabbling between eastern and western continues today.

Then, Kevin goes eating at 'cue places.

Of course, my own personal favorite place to eat 'cue is Wilber's in Goldsboro.
