Well, Jim it's Monday so, here's a list anyways. Good luck with the furniture shopping. You'll need the calories after walking some of the showrooms! Stamey's (Greensboro) - Stamey's Coliseum, 2206 High Point Road,(336) 299-9888 exit 40/I-85 at the High Point Rd./Coliseium exit. Bear right on to High Point Rd. Stamey's will be on your left about 1mi(?)directly across from the Greensboro Colsieum. Barbecue Center (Lexington) - The Barbecue Center 900 North Main Street, Lexington (336) 248-4633. Directions? On their website from a multitude of routes: http://www.barbecuecenter.com/directions.htm Carter Brothers (various locations around northern High Point) - Rob (who prefers TX/TN style Q' but, doing better with NC style every year.)

Good 'que in High Point and Hickory, NC?

Bullocks in Durham is really good. As you cruise by Durham on I-85, you can take a short detour on 15-501 (.5 mi or so) and get off at the Hillsborough Rd exit. Left on Hillsborough, then left on LaSalle. Bullocks will be on your right. Park anywhere you can (it's usually crowded) and enjoy. http://www.ibiblio.org/ch-scene/bbq/bullocks.html. http://www.digitalcity.com/raleigh/entertainment/venue.adp?vid=18749 Lexington Barbqueue us the best in NC as far as I'm concerned: http://www.ibiblio.org/ch-scene/bbq/lexington.html When you hit Greensboro, instead of heading west on I-40, take a slight detour and stay on I-85 south for a few more miles. Or you can go to High Point first and then head south on I-85 Business. You can take 64 west to get back over to I-40 on your way to Hickory. Unfortunately, I don't know any of the joints towards Hickory, but you're going to be so stuffed after Bullocks and Lexington that you may never need to eat again. As we say in NC, check your watch -- you may be hungry and not realize it!
