DG Martin interviews Jim Early - The Best Tar Heel Barbecue:From Manteo to Murphy North Carolina native Jim Early traveled to over 200 restaurants, from Murphy to Manteo, to find the best barbecue that the Tar Heel State has to offer. His journey to all 100 North Carolina counties in search of the pinnacle of pork perfection is documented in his all-new book The Best Tar Heel Barbecue: From Manteo to Murphy. The author shares his behind-the-scenes look at Tar Heel barbecue on the latest edition of UNC-TV’s literary series, North Carolina Bookwatch. In this mouth-watering episode, Early explains how an attorney from Winston-Salem turned his passion for all things pig into what musician David Holt has called “the barbecue bible for country gourmets.”
