I’m so happy to see both Sam Jones and Rodney Scott thriving ever since the old RU-vid videos that featured their original locations. It seems that those videos on channels such as Eater have helped expand their businesses.

I am a native North Carolinian and I will say that Sam Jones can simultaneously serve you some of the best Eastern style NC BBQ that you can find as well as the single worst piece of cornbread that you will ever eat. The dichotomy is truly remarkable.

Crispy skin method is the least mentioned factor in countless cooks' recipes and instruction! This is how you do it... crispy, yet melts in your mouth. No matter your cooking/BBQ'ing process (campfire, hole in the ground, smoker, gas grill... even your oven) last-minute browning / blistering is the key. No offense to these folks, but there are several backcountry BBQ families (not necessarily businesses) doing exactly what they do here... including the skin blistering.

@charmainevandiford6622 5 месяцев назад

I was raised in Eastern NC and have lived here all my life. This is the same barbecue I was raised on. I remember them cooking it in the ground but barely. Most had changed to a cooker and charcoal and now gas but Charcoal is better and wood is even better but also the most work. They do have good barbecue.

I’m certain that Mr. Jones knows that Grady’s BBQ in Dudley, NC, 1 hour southwest of his flagship restaurant has been serving quality whole hog BBQ chopped WITH SKIN for going on 40 years now. But, there’s still a dividing line in the community and Mr. and Mrs. Grady are on the “other side” of it…

Every time I had pulled pork from many restaurants, it's always dry unless you add a crap load of sauce. That's why i just go for fatty brisket now.

@elijahpipkin1852 6 месяцев назад

Luckily, this is chopped pork, not pulled. Pulled pork dries out faster. I've eaten his other two places pretty often, the pork Hal always been chopped fresh. The meat never sits under a warming lamp after it's chopped.

When i lived in Greenville i loved going to Sam Jones the crunch od the skin mixwd in with the meat OMG yeah i always left there stuffed 😂

@pkendall99 3 месяца назад

Crispy skin in the bbq isn't quite as unique as you would think... Grady's BBQ puts skin in theirs, Ken's Grill puts a chip of skin on top of theirs.. when you're cooking the whole hog, you're left with a whole lot of skin... But what is unique about Sam Jones/Skylight Inn is that "bread" that they give you.. it's a dense, oniony cornbread...in stark contrast to what most other ENC barbecue restaurants serve, which is hushpuppies..

Good to see the place still doing well and the new workers seem great also. 👍🏾

@elijahpipkin1852 6 месяцев назад

That was a different restaurant - Skylight Inn. A few years after that video was made, Sam opened Sam Jones Barbecue in Winterville (about 11 miles from Skylight Inn), because he wanted to expand the menu, but not change Skylight Inn in the process. I went to Skylight Inn a few months ago, Chopper was still there. He chopped and dressed the meat.
