Why we point you here
Knightdale's Michelin-charted barbecue worth the detour from Raleigh's orbit.
Sometimes the best barbecue sits just outside the expected radius. This Knightdale spot earned its Bib Gourmand for doing what Carolina barbecue does best, worth the detour when you're ready to roam beyond Raleigh proper for smoke and substance.
