That was the one in Southpark, but I've been to every single location of theirs.

I attended a behind the scenes event at their Huntersville location, was pretty neat.

Midwood is probably my favorite BBQ in CLT. Most everywhere else uses an Eastern NC vinegar-based sauce (which I hate). But Midwood has a couple of really nice sauces that are molasses and tomato based. I usually hit the one on Johnston Rd./521 near 485. Good stuff.

About the only thing I eat mexican lately is the Chile Pablano and Tamale from a really good joint in town. Better than the other standard AmMex menus. I'm hooked on those two items.

Mine too. They actually add vinegar to their pork, but you can't tell when eating. They are heavily influenced by Texas BBQ, so that's where their style is from. Use 4 different rubs on their meat. Put the meat in each night at 7-8 and comes off at 7-9 in the morning.

Made those at home. A restaurant offering a worthwhile tamale is a rarity in these parts.

Actually, the place I go in Cookeville makes a really good one in house, and only has the sauce on top. I tried another place that was pretty decent but had the meat and cause. The place I prefer the tamale also has best chili pablano/rellano. I always had it with the ground meat and cheese stuffed pepper till I got one at this place. Then I found out what it really was and don't go there without ordering one of both.

Funny thing is people wanting authentic. "Authentic" in the Phillipines is having dried fish and rice and fruit for breakfast.

Had dried fish and rice for breakfast on a Singapore Airlines flight from LA to Taipei in 2005. 👍🏼
