Going out of our way for BBQ

We went to Greenville today for a cardiology appointment for John. It makes for a long day, riding the early AM ferry to Swan Quarter, and then spending the whole rest of the day (or at least it seems that way) driving. Because of the time of John's appointment, we couldn't get back to Swan Quarter for the afternoon ferry home, so we had to "drive around" (go up to Manteo, across to Nags Head, then down the Outer Banks to catch the ferry home from Hatteras). As if that wasn't enough driving, we actually made it take longer intentionally - we took a smaller road, and then took a detour off it to a small building in the middle of nowhere. Why? Because that place sells the greatest barbecue around (at least in John's opinion). It's not a restaurant, it's a smokehouse/processing place. They sell North Carolina style (chopped pork) barbecue in tubs. John filled up a cooler with several pounds of 'cue, which made him very happy. It was well worth the little bit of extra driving!
