On this week's episode of Tying It Together with Tim Boyum we tackle the long tradition of barbecue and politics. But with so many new people coming to the state, is that tradition fading? Recently, U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham created a stir when he posted a picture to Twitter that conflicted with traditional North Carolina barbecue. So, this week we will break down everything you need to know about N.C. barbecue, its relationship with politics, and the future with so many non-natives now calling North Carolina home. Our guests include the legendary barbecue expert Bob Garner and historian Dr. Gary Freeze, whose research will likely ruffle a lot of feathers!
