The News & Observer has an update on Ed Mitchell’s much anticipated return to the barbecue world. See the somewhat odd article here http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/02/24/3651596/durham-father-son-hope-barbecue.html The gist of it is that Mitchell’s new restaurant, Que, is set to open in downtown Durham (just past the left field wall at the Bulls’ stadium) sometime around April 1.

Good news barbecue festival lovers: Hillsborough Hog Day has been revived. As you may recall, just last month the Orange County Chamber of Commerce announced it was cancelling Hog(g) Day. They said at the time that they would welcome help from others who wanted to carry on the tradition. I’ve not heard the full story yet, but it sounds like people heeded the calland rescued the 31-year old tradition. And thus Hog Day will happen this year after all, with the event set for June 21. Stay tuned to the official website for more details: http://hogday.org/

Below are a couple of pictures from a recent True ‘Cue restaurant certification tour (the grand old dame Stamey’s in Greensboro at top, and the quite new Speedy Lohr’s on Hwy 8 in Lexington at bottom):
