In This Issue…
When I moved to NC, I quickly learned that BBQ is at the heart of the state and is a sacred culinary tradition. Chopped, sliced, but never pulled (so I have been told). In this issue, we celebrate Lexington NC BBQ turning 100 yrs. old. The feature story takes us back to the year 1916 when Sid Weaver from Lexington opened his first restaurant (tent) and it’s all history from there!
For those that love the winter snow and staying active, break out those skis and head up to Beech Mountain. We have several of the best ski resorts less than a two-hour drive from the Triad. It’s an excellent way to exercise outdoors during the cold winter months.
