Historic NC Barbecue Trail Road Trip!🐖 | Stephenson's® BBQ | 1ST STOP | theendorsement & Rhody Foody

[@CraziiKittenz]

Thank you for coming to our town!! So cool to see this!!

[@frenzy2223]

Holly crap! That’s right down the street from our house. Never tried it, but I will now!

[@stephaniechorman9783]

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 ❤

[@stephaniechorman9783]

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🎉

[@theendorsement]

Thank you so much!!

[@stephaniechorman9783]

@@theendorsement you are so awesome! And I really want to meet you sometime!

[@ScorpionHeatseeker]

That was so epic. I actually shouted at the screen that Jessica should get a $100 tip near the end!

[@Nwhecon-sk4vp]

I really enjoyed this episode

[@robinc7235]

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. 🤤

[@ransom6892]

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

[@theendorsement]

Ohhhh. Sweet.... very cool info

[@thomas5680]

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.

[@JakeTerch]

Really enjoying these vlog-style videos from you guys!

[@theendorsement]

Thank you so much Jake! I appreciate that

[@oldnorthstateparanor]

Welcome to NC! Be sure to try Parker's BarBQ in Wilson. Been going there all my life!

[@tejayschwartz7681]

Your videos just keep getting better... Thank you for what you do

[@theendorsement]

I appreciate that Tejay!

[@grippinglipsfishing5671]

Oh this is going to be dope!

[@theendorsement]

Oh yes.. stay tuned... lol one of my top four related bucket lists

[@johnmckenna4256]

This was great! looking forward to the rest of the trip

[@yolondanatividad395]

Put some NC vinegar sauce and Texas Pete on that sandwich.

[@ericriddle3158]

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)

[@theendorsement]

Correct.. I alter my wording as the tour goes on. Lol

[@jbjacobs9514]

@@theendorsement They used it [the term] in Greenville (eastern NC - located 1 or so east of Raleigh). I lived there for many years.

[@carrington2949]

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. 🤣🤣🤣

[@WilliamKShank]

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!!!

[@oldnorthstateparanor]

Looks delicious!!

[@debbiepalladino4950]

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"!

[@theendorsement]

Thank you Debbie! This was a GREAT trip!

[@HoosierDaddyOfficial]

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!

[@theendorsement]

Thanks HD!!!! Hushpuppies at every NC spot we visited. :)

[@robinc7235]

@@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!

[@ShaunBMcKinnon]

This was a very nice change from your regular videos!

[@theendorsement]

Heck yeah.. thank you Shaun!!

[@darcyshikingdiaries]

LOVE this journey for you and Lupe! Your videos have been amazing to watch! I feel like I'm on the trip with you!

[@theendorsement]

Aweee. Thank you Darcy! Big bucket list for me!!!

[@kymdisney11]

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. 😁

[@theendorsement]

Oh.. mic SB.. you moved to NC? Very cool. How do you like it so far?

[@kymdisney11]

@@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! 😁

[@balindabarks7425]

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"

[@humptyshots6177]

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 😊

[@NorthGAMountains]

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.

[@theendorsement]

Thank you so much! This has been a huge bucket list of mine for the channel so I appreciate the kind words

[@davidp2888]

You say BBQ and I say yes.

[@chriskoloski8881]

Love these types of videos keep it up E

[@jess.from.scratch]

😊🤫 I've been patiently waiting!!! 😊

[@theendorsement]

Grin.... :)

[@erichammond9308]

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!

[@Leah-ej7ph]

We love our brisket in Texas!

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Cool, I love NC BBQ 🥰

[@NorthGAMountains]

If you get a chance... Try Jim's Barbecue in Blairsville, GA. It's just south of the NC border and my hometown.

[@Jackskellington9100]

Right up the road from me, they have the best BBQ pork!

[@SlimOn2wheels]

Same.. About half a mile!!!!

[@SlimOn2wheels]

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

[@carrierummel5636]

I am so jealous of you guys right now🤤

[@darillest356]

Great to see more variety. Try Scott's bbq hemingway s c. Great pulled pork.

[@theendorsement]

Thank you About Scott! Will have to put that on the list for sure for next road trip

[@GinNJuice1975]

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?

[@KoolKampProductions]

Y’all should hit Dee Willies here in San Antonio, Tx👍🏽👍🏽

[@joeydemitro8976]

THE ENDORSEMENT I LOVE MEMPHIS BBQ TOO MY FRIEND

[@jbjacobs9514]

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).

[@ericriddle3158]

My favs, Stamey;s in Greensboro, Country BBQ in High Point, BBQ Shack in Thomasville .

[@theendorsement]

We hit 1 of those. Video coming soon.. ;)

[@spaceghost27]

should add on trying the banana pudding at each of these joints. i know at least 95% would have it.

[@whoknows8678]

Like to see more of the potentially cute server!

[@theendorsement]

She was a great server!!

[@whoknows8678]

@@theendorsement Yeah, but what she cute? LOL

[@miltonpope3097]

I just love watching Yankees that don't know one thing in the world about barbecue. Trying to be a bbq critic

[@mariannejennisch9293]

Yummy

[@chriskoloski8881]

I love vinegar based

[@christopherhamilton8853]

Sorry, but, ketchup goes with hush puppies at a fish camp and bbq sauce goes with hush puppies at a bbq place

[@xtheedgeofreasonx]

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!

[@oldnorthstateparanor]

We don't call it pulled pork here in NC. We call it barbecue.

[@michaelbest4356]

N.C. bar b q is chopped, not pulled.

[@theendorsement]

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

[@michaelbest4356]

@@theendorsement You're welcome. And, thanks for letting us all participate in your pursuit of good N.C. bar-b-que!
