Sandy, I don't know much about Blowing Rock, but I do live in NC!!! BBQ is a big item here but never hot enough...LOL There should be some fairly good hangouts up there and Boone is a good place to check also. Both are 'college influenced' so there should be some variety to what you can find. Have fun!!!

May be planning a trip there later this summer and wanted to know about the town. Chile-head haunts? I don't know what people eat in the Blue Ridge Mts. Barbeque? SandyO CH #1146 of the moderate persuasion..would probably fit right into NC
