Monk<\/strong>: The back half of the year saw a little less barbecue than normal for me, but nonetheless I still had some great bites in 2024. In no particular order, here are the 11 best things I ate this year:<\/p>\n

Beef Cheek from Palmira Barbecue in Charleston (review<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m not the only fan of Palmira Barbecue, as Daniel Vaughn named them the best Texas barbecue outside of Texas<\/a>. But I got to check them out a few weeks after opening their West Ashley restaurant in January of this year, and left impressed.<\/p>\n

Sweet and savory kolaches at Jon G\u2019s Barbecue in Peachland<\/h3>\n

My love for Jon G\u2019s is well documented, but I really love the kolaches they now serve for breakfast at their restaurant in Peachland while you wait.<\/p>\n

Barbecue Hash over Carolina Gold Rice from City Limits BBQ at the Carolina BBQ Festival (recap<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

I have been meaning to get to City Limits Q for years, and in 2025 I will remedy that at the earliest. I did at least get a taste at this past spring\u2019s Carolina BBQ Festival.<\/p>\n

Smoked Burger from Southern Smoke at the Carolina BBQ Festival (recap<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

A smoked burger served by Matthew Register and the rest of the Register family? Well you can hardly beat that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Beef tenderloin over campfire in Deep Gap, NC<\/h3>\n

More of the \u201clive fire cooking\u201d variety versus traditional barbecue, but the beef tenderloin cooked over a campfire while camping with the youngest Monkette and a bunch of neighborhood dads was definitely one of the highlights of my year.<\/p>\n

Beef Fat Caramel Wings from Lawrence Barbecue at the Jon G\u2019s Jubilee (recap<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

These wings were the best things I ate this year, hands down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Whole Hog from Elliott Moss at the Jon G\u2019s Jubilee (recap<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

The brewery and smokehouse is still under construction in Florence, SC<\/a>, but I got to have Elliott Moss\u2019 whole hog not once but twice this year. This was a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Carnitas from Union Barbecue (review<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Union Barbecue is my new favorite Charlotte barbecue joint, and I will be their biggest cheerleader in 2025. HEY EVERYBODY, COME WITH ME TO UNION BARBECUE\u2019S NEXT POP-UP, WHEREVER THAT MAY BE.<\/p>\n

Texas Trinity at Matt\u2019s BBQ in Portland, OR (review<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

Really enjoyed the Texas Trinity from Matt\u2019s BBQ in Portland after a morning hike at Wahkeena Falls. Matt\u2019s BBQ was also named to Daniel Vaughn\u2019s top 50 Texas barbecue joints outside of Texas list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Frito Pie from Fumar (review<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

I look forward to checking out more from Fumar in the new year. This Frito pie will be a must order just about every time from now on, though.<\/p>\n

Whole hog from Live Fire Feasts<\/h3>\n

For our neighborhood pool here in Charlotte, I hosted a whole hog party in October catered by Craig Morrow and the fantastic crew at Live Fire Feasts<\/a> out of Rock Hill, SC. Highly recommend checking them out if you like delicious food cooked over live fire in the Charlotte metro area.<\/p>\n
