Residents of Charlotte, North Carolina, also known as the "Queen City," have a passion for barbeque and celebrate it annually at Charlotte's Blues, Brews & BBQ festival. BBQ aficionados in North Carolina have two preferred cooking styles: Eastern North Carolina, which involves an entire pig and a vinegar-based sauce, and Western North Carolina, which uses a tomato-based sauce and focuses on the pork shoulders. Enjoy both styles at these Charlotte barbeque landmarks.
