Somehow, I seem not to have gotten around to mentioning how much I love Backyard BBQ Pit #2. They're right down the road from us, on Guess (in that weird building that was previously the final home of Pizza Palace). I've not been to the original, which is down on 55 so can't compare the two but I'm a big fan of everything I've had at #2. The pork 'cue is probably my second fave locally. Allen & Sons still edges them out slightly. But Allen & Sons isn't a 5 minute drive from my house. The pork ribs are also outstanding. Very much a wet rib -- lots of sauce and meat falling off the bones. I've also had the fried chicken and it's damn good too. Of the sides, I like the mac & cheese and the collards but I love love love the fried cabbage. In fact (and you heard it here first), I'm thinking of writing up Backyard #2 again for Carpe Durham (not that there's anything wrong with their original review) as my first piece for the site. Partly so I can sing the praises of the fried cabbage. But mostly cos Backyard #2 is mostly empty every time we go there. And the food is so good. And the people are so nice (ex: we went to have lunch there last Saturday, only to discover they're now closed on weekends but one of the guys was coming out and he gave us a look at the whole hog they were smoking for a special event that night. Sadly, neither of us had our cameras).
