Maybe back in the day this was acceptable as BBQ. In Gastonia we now have so many places that are so much closer to what southern barbecue is supposed to be, and this is really nothing but bland roasted dry pork roast, zerosmoke is added, and they are doing it in their version of BBQ slaw. They're BBQ slaw used to be decent until they started marketing it and stores, now it is full of shelf stabling nitrates and other junk preservatives. Their pricing has gone completely nuts, and if you stop by their mobile truck they tend to park in Mount Holly and Belmont you will pay double what you pay in their store. I recommend you skip it, head down to Ray's country Smokehouse, or go to Mount Holly to Peace & hominy, even Carolina Country Barbecue is bad as it is is better than RO's.
If you really want to buy some barbecue slaw to put on your properly cooked pork barbecue at home, get it from raise or go to Black's Barbecue on South 321. I don't recommend their pork either but they make good slaw. You can also go to Bessemer City to McDonald's family restaurant and get the version of this BBQ done properly with Excellence law
