North Carolina Barbecue: A Distinct Cuisine and Culture

The Yale Club has invited us to join them for an authentic NC barbecue buffet of smokey chopped pork, tender slow-cooked chicken, creamy mac n' cheese, and tangy collard greens.

Two very special speakers will present during dinner:

He helped found the university's Center for the Study of the American South, the quarterly Southern Cultures, and has written Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue, On Barbecue, and Barbecue: A Savor the South Cookbook.
