After sampling that Marvelous Que, I promptly returned to Charlotte, reported to my boss that there was nothing of substance there to liquidate, so we took a write off.
Ed and his marvelous que stayed in business for many years. He's become a bit of an institution over the past five years and is recongized as one of NC's best barbequers of whole hog.
I guess that's the day i really figured out that I was a real chowhound.

By the way, the pig Bruce cooked was delicious!

Now I'm trying to contact Ed again to have him do another catering job for me and can't find the e-mail he gave me. I know its on his truck which he took to the NYC Q party and I'm hoping either than someone here got the E- or a photo of the truck where it is displayed.
Thanks for any help you guys might have.
