While we were in Raleigh I really wanted to try Carolina barbecue, which is smoked meat doused in a vinegar based sauce, but because we were there over Labor Day weekend, most of the bbq joints my brother wanted to take us to were closed. Boo. I really had my heart set on having it though so my brother found a place near his home called Danny\u2019s Bar-B-Que that was still open.<\/p>\n
The restaurant is located in kind of a nondescript strip mall and the d\u00e9cor is a bit generic but that didn\u2019t really matter because we were here to sample the food. The restaurant is definitely kid-friendly and there was plenty of room for Alexander\u2019s stroller at our table. The hostess and the servers were all super friendly and offered up their suggestions when Josh and I said we were inexperienced with Carolina barbecue.<\/p>\n

We started off with an order of hush puppies, something that I\u2019ve had before in Hilton Head. It\u2019s basically deep fried corn bread batter. The ones at here were uniformly shaped logs so I think they were probably the frozen kind but at least they were served piping hot tasted pretty delicious. They had a crispy outer shell that gave way to a sweet corn center.<\/p>\n
