LEXINGTON STYLE

Lee and Nora in front of what is reputedly the best barbecue joint in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  It features Lexington-style barbecue, common throughout the North Carolina Piedmont.  Like the barbecue I grew up with on the North Carolina coast it consists of shredded pork in a vinegar-based sauce or marinade, but the Lexington style adds a liberal dose of ketchup to the sauce.  This makes the dish a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still damn good.
