I'm sure their explanation was too many caterings. We had supper there 
this past Saturday & were told that if things were a little hectic, it 
was because they'd had six simultaneous caterings that day. I dunno if 
they had BBQ on hand, because Maggie had the garlic chicken with roasted 
fennel & a giant mound of mashed potatoes, and I had the brunswick stew. 
Which, as an aside, was good, but a little thin, as if it had not stewed 
long enough, and was not, to borrow a phrase from some Kentuckians of my 
acquaintance, "wangy" enough.

Smoked pig being what it is, it's not something you can whip up 
spur-of-the-moment, of course, and while its bouquet intensifies with a 
certain amount of storage, you don't really want to be cranking it out 
too far in advance, either.

So I suppose if they were true down-home purveyors of NC BBQ, they 
would've looked Chris in the eye & said "well, son, you didn't get here 
soon enough." But I'm sure you're right, they were probably quite 
apologetic, unless the register was being manned by that stoned 
black-mop-haired teenager guy, in which case he likely just gave Chris a 
weird look and then served him some lukewarm beans.

And I suppose if Chris were a true connoisseur of NC BBQ, he would've 
simply nodded & agreed that he should try harder next time. Truly, it 
does not require *that* much extra mental effort to conclude that BBQ 
can and should make an excellent breakfast.
