character
as a North Carolinian for eight years, of course I had heard of the legendary Lexington bbq; okay, you Texan might disagreed with me of who serve better and the “right” barbeque; but as an outside of this country, who also happened to been to Texas and Memphis for a taste of the smoked meat, I frankly don’t give a damn who is right. As long as the pits are smoking their vernacular meat with craft and care, I will eat it.
I am not sure if this “Smiley BBQ” at the fuel city truck stop in the middle of Virginia has any connection with the Lexington Smiley, but they do offer both North Carolina and Texas style smoked pork.
For a street food fanatic of mine, this wasn’t exactly street food, but I do adore “food on the run” while I drive long distance, and this little bbq joint was more than satisfying for a lunch break of a 700 miles drive.
