Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans.
@hokiesmash_ASD you gotta help me get this March-Madness-style BBQ bracket off the ground. Proposed it to @NCStateFair, needs to happen! pic.twitter.com/J8LrQ3dsOT

This sounds fun doesn’t it – a bracket of North Carolina barbecue restaurants – I’d gain so much weight lol.
There certain is one thing that all ACC fans agree on – we like to eat when we come to town. Well here it is. Reader recommended BBQ restaurants in #ACC country. The major criteria we used here was that readers had to pick a BBQ restaurant that was not a “franchise” chain.
I really got hungry when I typed this up lol. I hope you enjoy this.
