- Today is the 1st stop on the Historic North Carolina Barbecue Trail! Recently, Rhody Foody and myself took a road trip to North Carolina and reviewed 6 of the remaining 13 BBQ Restaurants that are recognized on the Historic NC BBQ Trail! Up until about 3-4 years ago there were 23 BBQ Joints represented on the trail. That number recently has sadly been reduced to 13. We tried to hit as many as possible during a 4 day trip through NC!
1st STOP is Stephenson's Bar-B-Q in Willow Spring NC!
Stephenson's Bar-B-Q INFO -
If a hog isn’t pit-cooked, it isn’t barbecue. That’s how Stephenson’s Bar-B-Q still operates today in the pit behind the modest building on NC Hwy 50 just south of Garner.
Stephenson’s Bar-B-Q, a family-owned restaurant in operation since 1958, is listed on the North Carolina Barbecue Society’s Historic Barbecue Trail map. The pork Bar-B-Q is pit cooked and hand-chopped daily, just as it has been over the past 60 years. From the daily lunch specials to the tender Bar-B-Q chicken, there is something for everyone.
Information about the Trail :
NCBS (North Carolina Barbecue Society) has designed a barbecue trail from Eastern North Carolina to Tennessee. The trail will meander across the state with stops at 24 NCBS
Historic Barbecue Pits. These pits were carefully and selectively chosen
by the NCBS board as representatives of the distinctive methods and
barbecue cooking styles that have made North Carolina the Barbecue
Capital of the World. Each NCBS Historic Barbecue Pit still cooks the
old fashioned pit cooked method. And each NCBS Historic Barbecue Pit
will proudly display a specially designed emblem depicting old style
barbecue cooking that is part of the tradition, heritage and culture
that NCBS seeks to preserve.
Criteria for selection to the NCBS Historic Barbecue Trail included,
among other things, that the NCBS Historic Barbecue Pit cook their meat
product on pits fueled by wood or charcoal, make their own sauce, that
the pit had operated continuously for fifteen or more years, that the
end product was a good offering and representative of North Carolina
Barbecue and that the pit had earned and enjoyed the high esteem of its
community, the barbecue industry and barbecue aficionados. The board
decided to only include pits that provide a sit down dining experience
for the public and to limit the number of pits on the trail to two per
town/city.
The establishment of the NCBS Historic Barbecue Trail will afford
visitors to the Old North State an opportunity to sample North Carolina
barbecue cooked in the traditional fashion and served by some of the
nicest people one could ever hope to meet.
How well did we enjoy the 1st stop? Please watch and find out.

Thank you for coming to our town!! So cool to see this!!
Holly crap! That’s right down the street from our house. Never tried it, but I will now!
I really enjoyed this episode
That was so epic. I actually shouted at the screen that Jessica should get a $100 tip near the end!
I can't believe you were so close to me!!! I wish I could have met you 😊 I love watching your videos and I hope you enjoy NC BBQ ❤
And I forgot to add a really hope you get a chance to try Danny's BBQ and Cary North Carolina. They have really good brisket and they make these things called corn nuggets that are out of this world🎉
Thank you so much!!
@@theendorsement you are so awesome! And I really want to meet you sometime!
Loved watching this. I've lived about 10 minutes away from Stephenson's for over 30 years and I feel so fortunate because it's the BEST BBQ I've ever had! Their hushpuppies are 👍👍 too. 🤤
Oh this is going to be dope!
Oh yes.. stay tuned... lol one of my top four related bucket lists
The Carolina Packers truck in the back is NC’s legendary red hot dog company. You gotta get you a Bright Leaf hot dog with chili and maybe some Cheerwine to wash it down
Ohhhh. Sweet.... very cool info
Really enjoying these vlog-style videos from you guys!
Thank you so much Jake! I appreciate that
My home state NC definitely has the best BBQ hands down. Great post, and I hope you enjoyed your visit to the tar heel state.
This was great! looking forward to the rest of the trip
Your videos just keep getting better... Thank you for what you do
I appreciate that Tejay!
Welcome to NC! Be sure to try Parker's BarBQ in Wilson. Been going there all my life!
Looks delicious!!
This is a fantastic video. I would have gone with the okra. Also their french fries are home made. All the food, sides and hushpuppies are excellent ! I love that you "hit the trail"!
Thank you Debbie! This was a GREAT trip!
Neat place. Wish I could do the trail. Enjoy and think of me back in this NW IL Food Vacuum at every stop! 😩😆
Safe Journey!
CHOLULA!!!
Put some NC vinegar sauce and Texas Pete on that sandwich.
These old school NC BBQ places usually don't use the term pulled pork, they offer chopped or sliced ( in my experience , 65 years old lifetime NC resident)
Correct.. I alter my wording as the tour goes on. Lol
@@theendorsement They used it [the term] in Greenville (eastern NC - located 1 or so east of Raleigh). I lived there for many years.
My family is from Eastern NC. I brought a friend home from college and I referred to it as pulled pork for clarification for my Texas born roommate. My family made me get up from the table. 🤣🤣🤣
You say BBQ and I say yes.
I loved this. What a nice change of pace! I love me some good bbq! North Carolina style pork with vinegar based sauce… Delicious! I’ve never seen hush puppies at a bbq joint before, but they looked really good! I’d love to give this place a visit. I can’t wait to see the rest of your videos!
Thanks HD!!!! Hushpuppies at every NC spot we visited. :)
@@theendorsement oh yes, hushpuppies go with BBQ and fried seafood here in NC! If you ever come back and you want some of the best seafood, try Captain Stanley's on the outskirts of Raleigh. Be sure to get their homemade onion rings, they are to die for!
Love these types of videos keep it up E
E you're a man after my own heart 😊
I LOVE pulled pork! If I go to a BBQ place I always get pulled pork
I'm loving your vlog style reviews. You should toss a few in with your normal reviews. See ya at the next stop
And Lupe the pork council has a whole ad campaign "PORK THE OTHER WHITE MEAT"
LOVE this journey for you and Lupe! Your videos have been amazing to watch! I feel like I'm on the trip with you!
Aweee. Thank you Darcy! Big bucket list for me!!!
This was a very nice change from your regular videos!
Heck yeah.. thank you Shaun!!
Great review! I'm new to NC. I've only lived her for a couple of weeks now. Looks like Stephenson's Bar B Q is 42 miles south of where I live now. Guess I'll have to drive down there. 😁
Oh.. mic SB.. you moved to NC? Very cool. How do you like it so far?
@@theendorsement Obviously it's a complete change from San Diego, but I love all the trees here and the twisty back roads!
I sure hope the summers aren't too brutal with the humidity!
Looking forward to the rest of your BBQ tour! 😁
Wow that was so cool. I can smell it all the way up here in Rochester, NY. Yum. Your audio was great too.❤ Can't wait til the next one. Hi Lupe and Brisket 😊
We love our brisket in Texas!
I am here for this! I cant wait to see the rest of the places! You guys just vibe off each other so well, as i mentioned The Dream Team doing it right! I loved all the pig decorations they had around. When i was younger i used to collect pig *things* i still have a giant box full of them. So did you get the pulled pork sammwich for $3.95?
Love your regular content.... But, this is a nice change that was long overdue...keep tweaking your channel and don't be afraid stepping out of your comfort zone. Keep movin' on.
Thank you so much! This has been a huge bucket list of mine for the channel so I appreciate the kind words
Cool, I love NC BBQ 🥰
THE ENDORSEMENT I LOVE MEMPHIS BBQ TOO MY FRIEND
Darn, now I'm going to have to go get some. Little known fact - years ago it was common for the governor of North Carolina to call Stevenson's and place orders for his staffs lunches then dispatch a state trooper to go pick up lunch. - the good old days!
I am so jealous of you guys right now🤤
If you get a chance... Try Jim's Barbecue in Blairsville, GA. It's just south of the NC border and my hometown.
This was an awesome video. I'm starting to see a lot more videos closer to my house on different channels. Stephenson's BBQ is half a mile from my house
Right up the road from me, they have the best BBQ pork!
Same.. About half a mile!!!!
😊🤫 I've been patiently waiting!!! 😊
Grin.... :)
Y’all should hit Dee Willies here in San Antonio, Tx👍🏽👍🏽
Great to see more variety. Try Scott's bbq hemingway s c. Great pulled pork.
Thank you About Scott! Will have to put that on the list for sure for next road trip
Don't feel bad - okra is a specific acquired taste. I have tried it in tons of places several times and I can't do it! I love when the lady said "a choice of hush puppies and dinner rolls" - Rhody said YES (actually I would too but I would mean YES to BOTH if I said it LOL).
Like to see more of the potentially cute server!
She was a great server!!
@@theendorsement Yeah, but what she cute? LOL
I love vinegar based
Yummy
should add on trying the banana pudding at each of these joints. i know at least 95% would have it.
I just love watching Yankees that don't know one thing in the world about barbecue. Trying to be a bbq critic
My favs, Stamey;s in Greensboro, Country BBQ in High Point, BBQ Shack in Thomasville .
We hit 1 of those. Video coming soon.. ;)
Sorry, but, ketchup goes with hush puppies at a fish camp and bbq sauce goes with hush puppies at a bbq place
We don't call it pulled pork here in NC. We call it barbecue.
You guys have gone to some lengths to make these vids. The only thing lacking is something different from the mic standpoint (lapel, etc), and maybe some editing and a bit of multi cam. Just saying if you’ve gone to this much effort, might as well optimize and take it to the next level!
N.C. bar b q is chopped, not pulled.
Correct.. This was our 1st sop and pulled is what I am used to. But I learned a ton on this week long trip. Thanks Michael
@@theendorsement You're welcome. And, thanks for letting us all participate in your pursuit of good N.C. bar-b-que!
Is that Rhody Foody?
Jealous!
Love this. Grew up a few miles from here and routinely ate myself blind here. Glad to see you got to visit!
Those prices I can’t believe so affordable
