There are 2 kinds of #bbq in #NCPOL:

Eastern, Vinegar-based, whole hog. AKA the real stuff.

Western, Tomato-based, pork shoulder. AKA glorified spaghetti sauce.

To be clear. Neither are ever cooked on gas grills or eaten on hotdog buns.

What I saw a candidate for a major #NCPOL office do today, cooking https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌭" title="Hot Dog" aria-label="Emoji: Hot Dog"> and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍔" title="Hamburger" aria-label="Emoji: Hamburger"> on a gas grill - commonly referred to as California-style BBQing - simply has no place in NC #bbq lexicon and is unheard of during an election.

This level of cultural insensitivity is unacceptable.

2/2

If those https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍔" title="Hamburger" aria-label="Emoji: Hamburger"> and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌭" title="Hot Dog" aria-label="Emoji: Hot Dog"> were by any change tofu or “veggie” meat replacements the #NCSEN race might have ended tonight.

The fact that said offender claims #Lexington #ncpol - the motherland of imposter #bbq - as his place of residence just adds insult to injury.

I am aghast.

3/3

Screwing up #BBQ can cost a candidate an #ncpol election:

“Something came over me that no one in their right mind would ever do,” Edmisten said. “I said, ‘Yes I certainly have, I’m tired of it. I hope I never see another drop of it as long I live.’
