Default N.C. Favorites?

When visiting NC. . ..

Stamey's in Greensboro is very good, and cooked traditional style. In
Raleigh, we usually ate at Barbecue Lodge or Don Murray's. At Barbecue
Lodge, check out their livers and gizzard plate. They also have
incredible turnip greens and cooked cabbage. I also thought that Red Hot
and Blue was pretty decent for Memphis style ribs and LOVE their catfish
sandwich. They also have good baked beans. There's also a pretty
decent place in Durham, over by Brightleaf Square, but the name eludes
me. Downtown in Raleigh, I liked Joe's Mom's a lot for the vegetables
in particular.

As you go further east, about any barbecue place you find is good. I'd
say that ground zero for eastern style is Greenville- home to East
Carolina University. In the western part of the state, it's mostly
Lexington style. Without trying to hurt feelings, I personally rank
that style as my least favorite barbecue, but it's still better than
none at all.<grin>

By the way, I've been seeing mention of St. Louis style of barbecue.
Having grown up in central MO and having lived in KC, I really can't say
I'm familiar with that style or the name. Can someone expand on that?
