Seniors celebrate manner Lexington Barbecue Festival Dispatch Frances Wilson(right) and Andrew Bivens stop eating roast to clap after a religious songsung by Tony Corner during the 26th Annual Lexington Barbecue Festival Barbecue Festival gets underway My Fox 8 Lexington ready for the 26th Festival in Winston-Salem Official Lexington BBQ Festival.

In the spirit of the celebration of regional barbecue, this was not a problemunfortunate that none of the sandwiches were especially helped open the eyes We overlook the fact that we could not source of our food. The worst example of days with a large margin was a ramshackle cabbage and bacon sandwich, made harmless since mid-from-the-road, but the ingredients completely destroyed by drought,tasteless sheets and wilting of corn bread is used to keep it all together.

The best of the festival was a roast turkey sandwich served with legs in an independent position - the meat was tender and juicy, with a strong odor Wood, a reasonable amount of sauce and a sweetness to her that cut fruit salad through too sweet, too spicy, lots of strips of BBQ flight is the official Festival. I tried to find out whether the meat had come from the hoping to negotiate directly with the source, but he showed what name of a dead end of a cafe / food service, so you can tell, there is at Lexington.

Freed from the obligations of kilograms taste for barbecue, sweet tea and fried pie in my belly, we greeted the sun reluctant North Carolina and spent rest of the afternoon, taking in the most glorious of all events of the festival.

Festival lumberjack competition was particularly impressive, especially when called a child of eleven years to launch a double in a wooden ax targets for twenty paces.

No amount of lumberjackery be able to reach Griseløbet Festival, an ardent fifteen minutes of fame for pork (and the billy goat!) sufficiently aware linearly to be the first to cross the finish line and dive nose-first into the Styrofoam Cheetos plate waiting without victory.

After our day at the races, we are led to the Lexington BBQ # 1 for some serious pigs. Local and guests formed a line that stretches from the main door to back, waiting patiently on a hill at Lexington's finest.

Unfortunately, the wine was almost undrinkable. Handmade tea annually, according to the BBQ Festival, the most important news of Childress Vineyard is more or less sweet grape: It tastes very sweet and unnaturally smooth tannin-free is far less than the Completion of the grill than it would Pringles. It does not feel much of an insult, if not the bottle had cost us $ 15, however, that nothing save MSG-infused our bottle of swill, we set it aside for a small fee Trappiche Malbec.

Quality of food did not disappoint. Lexington Barbecue regular may seem a bit on the soft side, but when served with meat out of it creates one of those moments of definition, as the true form of a certain type of food to the gods, sucker punching their understanding of quality barbecue and a blinding light on all the shades pulled pork others who may cross his path in the future.
