Lake Norman BBQ

Now, I am not one to just stop off on the side of the road for a bite to eat but Saturdays around here are little hectic. Often, it is up early, get the chores done and if there is any time left over at the end of the day, we head out on the lake. So, when I was at the Sam Furr and Catawba Ave Cashion's a few weeks ago, there was Pop's Bar-B-Que set up in a catering trailer in the parking lot. It was really an accident that I decided to grab a sandwich. I was making a stop at Cashion's and needed to have some lunch. Boy, am I glad I was hungry.

Certainly, we North Carolinaians are BBQ snobs. Between the Eastern and Lexington style choices, everyone from NC claims to be some sort of connoisseur of the pork or beef variety and we ALL have an opinion! Well, Pop's makes it easy to choose, he has a bit of both and you can add to it as you see fit. The food is just down right good, not greasy and full of flavor not fat.

So, if you find yourself in the area of Birkdale and hankering for some que, head up the road to Cashion's and look for Pop's trailer out front (he usually set up the latter part of the week and weekend). You will not be sorry!
