Where Carolina BBQ Meets South Florida

Matt Davis grew up chasing both sides of North Carolina's greatest culinary argument — the sharp, vinegary whole-hog tradition of the East, and the rich, tomato-tinged pork shoulder smoke of the Piedmont West. He never picked a side. He picked Boca Raton instead.

Clashing Carolinas is Matt's love letter to the Carolinas, served hot from a kitchen in South Florida. Two traditions, two sauces, two slaws — one smokehouse. Pick your side, or order the Split Decision and refuse to choose like the rest of us.
