When I think of "true" NC barbecue, it has to come with the Eastern (English influenced) vinegar and red+black pepper sauce, maybe with some special ingredient added, like oyster juice. I love going to whole pig, hardwood using temples like the Skylight Inn in Ayden, or Allen & Son in Chapel Hill. Now it is true that the Piedmont tradition uses tomatoes but that is for others to defend. I am sticking with my narrow-minded, intolerant contention that only the vinegary, tomato-less stuff is great NC BBQ.<br>That said, I will go to Bebe's this week (and ask for Eastern Style sauce).

However, they do make a east Carolina style without tomato. Just ask for it. Bebe's sauce is a western style Carolina suace–it has a touch of tomato.

Does Bebe have true Carolina BBQ - Without the silly tomato sauce? And maybe even pepper hash? I can't bear to have my heart broken again. One too many times I have been fooled by menu claims of "Carolina Barbecue" only to find a bland mess of tough and chewy chopped pork swimming in sweet tomato sauce. I have been searching for decent Tarheel BBQ since I moved up here 16 years ago, and have been disppointed again..and again...and again. Oh Bebe, can you truly be the answer??? Can I stop driving 500 miles for an ancestral visit to The Red Pig or Troutman's? Is this for real??? Does Bebe have true Carolina BBQ – Without the silly tomato sauce? And maybe even pepper hash?

Did a takeout dinner a couple of Friday's ago. Have to say that Mark is a great guy and the food was awesome! We did platters of the pulled pork, pulled chicken and regular (half) chicken. My wife went to college in Carolina and vouched for the authenticity of the BBQ sauces (Mark gave us some of the "East" and some of the "West"). The sweet tea, cornbread, mac & cheese and sweet potato pie rounded out the meal (and rounded my waistline). Great stuff and I'll be back soon - keep it up! Bebe's is great!
