yes -- another BBQ restaurant has been sampled and reviewed. downtown Raleigh, near the railroad station and relocated from a rather rough neighborhood in Wilson is The Pit. Unique in that the food is free range or organic or whatever. -- and really really good. BBQ with a cloth napkin if you will and reportedly without steriods.
You know it is authentic because the sign says it is so. The NC flag helps locate the authenticity of the BBQ so as to know you are not eating a verb. As the place is generally always crowded we sat outside and sampled Raleigh's new favorite controversy -- Bud-lite beer. -- a digression here, Raleigh is about to name an amphitheater the Bud lite Pavilion -- and good grief -- what a broo-ha-ha has been stirred up. We are closing libraries, laying off teachers, have overcrowded jails, potholes in the streets, and we are all in a snit about naming the pavilion after a cheap beer. Anyway, the four of us, Patt and I, Robin and Michael, enjoyed the early evening Raleigh street-scape waiting for our table
Inside of course we went with various delicacies such as BBQ, fried green tomatoes, collards and such. Please note that should Bud lite not be acceptable, there is one heck of a wine cabinet --- what a wine cabinet --- yes a wine cabinet -- in a BBQ restaurant, just what one would expect. Oh and we have been there before and will go back.

Im looking forward to some authentic BBQ, not with wine, you have too many yankees in town if the have wine in a BBQ joint.

Ooh..I'm envious! Organic BBQ! I find all organic meat just tastes better, and I love barbecue. Wouldn't think that the wine was a natural pairing though. You didn't mention cobbler or banana pudding. That had to be good too.
