Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie

North Carolina: BBQ and Beyond (2x5)

Air date: Feb 02, 2008

We’ll show you what southern cooking is all about, and it’s not just grits and gravy. We’ll travel to North Carolina where we see the old-style tradition of barbecue come alive with legendary pitmaster Ed Mitchell. Next, we’ll visit an eco-friendly trout farm in the Appalachian Mountains and experience the unique combination of Asian and barbecue cuisine at The Lantern, a famous restaurant in Chapel Hill. Back in the Gourmet kitchen, we’re sharing a recipe that no one can resist: okra fritters.
