I agree...I've lived in Kinston, NC and agree that Wilbers is excellent in Goldsboro, but so is Kings which is served in the White House and on Letterman.  Almost every mom and pop is better than what I have found here in MD.  I do hear however that the RED, WHITE and Blue in Laurel is better than Red River and the other Pretenders.  I will try it next week and see what I think.  Otherwise I know Kings sends by Fedex from their homepage...A little expensive however.
