    Hey yall, just had a bit of curiosity of what you think is the best BBQ in NC. I work at Johnson Family BBQ in Durham and love it and am curious of what else is out there!

    I was just at City BBQ today. There's also Aviator smokehouse, Smokey's BBQ shack. They're all good. I'll have to try Johnson Family BBQ.

    City is a chain with one in Cary and one in Garner, Aviator is practically all of 'downtown' Varina, and Smokey's is in RTP.

    Nah, we just stuffed ourselves at the campground (friends with smokers and hammocks). The gas pump took forever and smelling the BBQ almost made me hungry again. I swear that's on purpose.
