These people had the same bun as Bridges in Shelby! Do the bun-making companies cater to eastern and western NC distinctively? This sauce was slightly more vinegar-y and less viscous than Bridges with a nice bite to it without being hot. The slaw on the sandwich had the same sauce. The tea was probably the least sweet of the trip. And OH WOW, their hush puppies are out of this world!! We both enthusiastically agreed that they were the best pups of the trip, no contest. They were huge, incredibly light, and had a great flavor. I’m afraid we can’t do them justice in a tumblr post!
