Lexington-style pork BBQ · Charlotte
Lexington-style BBQ is North Carolina Piedmont's chopped or sliced pork shoulder, smoked over hickory wood and dressed in a tomato-and-vinegar sauce with red.
Wayne Monk opened Lexington Barbecue (Honey Monk's) 60 miles north of Charlotte in 1962, cementing the style of chopped pork shoulder over hickory with tomato-vinegar sauce. The Piedmont style coexists with Eastern North Carolina's whole-hog vinegar style, and the two BBQ schools have argued for a century.
