Sunday All-You-Can-Eat Buffet (rib tips, pulled pork, chicken, chicken nuggets, sides, and dessert) @ Outlaw BBQ Shack in Monroe, NC

BEST PULLED PORK IN AMERICA (at least in my opinion)

It was a complete accident, but I ventured to Oulaw BBQ Shack on a Sunday when they only serve the buffet. For $12.00, I got a taste of everything! But unfortunately, their famous ribs were not on the buffet menu.

I had the chance of speaking to the owners, Steven and Lynn Colombo, and their restaurant has come a long way. Before focusing on the restaurant full-time, Steven and Lynn had their own law firm. On the weekends, they would compete in the barbecue circuit, and gradually, their meats and sauces were becoming recognized. Eventually, they became the official barbecue vendor of the Super Bowl, and more and more people raved about their barbecue. Now, you can get a taste of their delicious cooking at their restaurant, and I was extremely impressed! They are so friendly and hospitable, always asking if you need anything else. Steven even took the time to sit down at my table to answer all my questions.

And he threw in some ribs because I was asking.
