People are always asking me where to take vacation. What's a cool place? What's the most scenic drive? Carolina Conversations attempts to answer those questions and others.

Cast your vote for King of Cue – Western Style

Congratulations to Hog Heaven of Durham for winning the WRAL poll for King of the Cue Down East Barbecue. Hog Heaven edged Parker’s for the title. Chapel Hill’s Barbecue Joint came in third in a robust round of balloting. The official voting ended Friday. Thanks to all of you for participating and expressing your passion for barbecue.

Now it is time to turn our attention to barbecue restaurants that add a touch of tomato to their sauces. It’s called Lexington-style or Western Barbecue. Who is the Best of the West? Lexington is well represented in this poll and could very well produce the winner. Please vote for the Best of the West BBQ. We will keep this survey going until Thursday at 9:00AM. I doubt we will get the volume we received in the down east balloting but you never know!

Belly up to the barbecue battleground and cast your ballot here.

My vote goes to Lexington BBQ. I've never had a bad meal there. And I always leave with a bottle of their sauce, which I hide from the rest of my family....

Had dinner at Lexington Barbecue on Saturday night. We brought enough back home to have bbq sandwiches for supper last night and we'll finish it up tomorrow night. How sad it will be to take that last bite!!

For the record, I'm an eastern B's fan, but, I have had some good barbeque at Lexington Barbeque and I do try to eat there when I'm up that way.

It's like voting on the nicest visitor from New Jersey. I'm trying to think.....

How about Bridges in Shelby?

Hillbilly's in Lowell...that sweet sauce !

My favorites are Deano's in Mocksville and Tar Heel Q in Lexington (on the Davie/Davidson line).

Yum - Barbeque Center. Heading to Charlotte this weekend and will DEFINITELY stop on the way home and get a "quart special". Course chopped, with some extra "dip".

Darn - now I am hungry.

But - the list gives me other Q joints to try!

Lexington BBQ

I have to vote for Lexington BBQ myself. My mother and I stopped in for some take out a few weeks ago. The parking lot was packed, but we never had to get out of our car. The guys are in the parking lot taking orders and getting it to you SO fast.
