Due South BBQ

The New River Valley's only real Pit Cooked BBQ... follow the smoke to the real thing.

A co-worker mentioned Due South to me recently; I can't believe they've been in the area for this long, & I hadn't tried it.
Killer barbecue, and they serve breakfast seven days a week!

I can't remember the last time I made such heartfelt yummy noises based solely on the scents getting into my nose. For someone who grew up used to Eastern Carolina style BBQ, it was insane goodness.
Each order comes with a choice of three of their five varieties of heaven sauce:

• Hot Red – 1st Place 2007 Va. State Championship
  Tomato Base, warm, slightly sweet.
• Sweet Red – Tomato Base, sweet & tangy
• Lexington – Vinegar Base, spicy
• Yellow – Mustard Base, sweet & tangy
• Sweet Brown – Tomato base, dark and sweet

The Lexington has a heart rendering goodness, and the Hot Red was very tasty as well; the Sweet Red was just a little too sweet for my taste, but still pretty good.
Next time — you'd better believe there's going to be a next time — I'll have to try the Yellow & the Sweet Brown, though I may end up buying the Lexington by the quart.
