There’s a brand new BBQ Joint in Hillsborough, North Carolina aptly named Hillsborough BBQ Company. Since it’s so new and I haven’t had a chance to review it, here is their mission statement direct from their website.
Hillsborough BBQ Company was founded by people passionate about good, honest, solid food. The concept is certainly not a new one, but the techniques that we have decided to use seem to be forgotten in the modern bbq establishments. In a world where profit and efficiency rule, shoveling wood coals and cooking “the old fashioned way” seem to be ancient history. While most new restaurants rely solely on electric smokers that require nothing more than the punch of a button, we feel that putting the time and effort into cooking with wood makes the difference between good and great. We use nothing but locally sourced oak and hickory. Our pitmaster keeps the fire going, shoveling coals under local whole hogs every night while you are sleeping.

We are also passionate about supporting local businesses, especially farmers, whenever possible. We think you will agree that the food coming from small local farms simply tastes better than factory food. Just like cooking in the pit isnt the easiest or cheapest way to do it, choosing a better product to start with is the difference between good and great. We also are developing our own small sustainable farming operation to help supply our restaurants with the best food possible.

We are proud to offer a little something for everyone. While whole hog bbq is our specialty, all of our meats, appetizers sides, vegetarian options, soups, and of course pies are made with the best ingredients available from scratch.
Here’s the first review I could find which was rather glowing. Have you been here yet? Let me know what you think of it.
