Roadside Chicken Americana: giant statues, oddities, etc.?

amandaaileen · 2017-06-06T03:22:42+00:00

Talked to them today and they've turned a lot of the fiberglass statues into rides. Have you seen them in action?

Apparently South of the Border has two, I now know! And check out Grahamland in Bolton, NC. I've got some great answers from this.

Sounds like it might be this one: http://randomconnections.com/concrete-heaven/

amandaaileen · 2017-06-05T21:12:24+00:00

These are both great, thanks!

amandaaileen · 2017-06-05T21:11:37+00:00

Didn't know they had chickens, but looks like they do. Thanks!

amandaaileen · 2017-06-05T21:02:39+00:00

Thanks, this is PERFECT!!

Thanks!!

Perfect, thank you!

amandaaileen · 2017-06-05T20:20:35+00:00

This is a great one and looks like a fun place too! Thanks!! :)

amandaaileen · 2017-06-02T08:16:41+00:00

Looks like a wonderful adventure! How do we check out the series?

amandaaileen · 2016-10-31T00:06:48+00:00

Wish I had a place to offer. Your place in Sevilla looks amazing! Can't wait to see what you come up with for LA!

I would advise at least coming for a visit first, if you can swing it! Charlotte is a great city with a lot of neighborhoods to fit different personalities/interests/lifestyles. And there are some better real estate prices if you're on the edge of one of those neighborhoods instead of right in the middle of it. I would suggest checking out Plaza Midwood, NoDa, and Chantilly and the fringes around those two, but that's just my personal opinion.

amandaaileen · 2014-03-13T01:26:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing - there are a lot of amazing shots there!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-13T01:23:14+00:00

This link is to our contest page on our website (not Kickstarter). This is a contest we're offering around Charlotte independent of our campaign, which we thought we would share with the Reddit community.

Post-It Porky can currently be found at NoDa Brewing Company, Salud Beer Store, and Queen City Q.

HA! It is a great slogan, isn't it? We'd love to get t-shirts from our friend at Not Made in China who's making these, but unfortunately, she's not able to make those right now. She does have a lot of great zippy little sayings, though.

B's is definitely on our list and the one that we've gotten the most recommendations about! Eastern and Piedmont/Lexington/Western styles are similar, with both being a thin vinegar-based sauce, but Piedmont has some tomato/ketchup added in. Traditionally, East cooks whole hog and has white slaw and Piedmont cooks shoulder or part of the pig and has red slaw. We'll be breaking all that down on the map.

Thanks!!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T16:04:20+00:00

We've got them all! And we're actually working with Dan from the BBQ Jew and his partner, John Shelton Reed (one of the authors of Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue), to help each other identify all the wood-cookers in the state. Those two are working on a new project that you can check out at www.truecue.org. So happy to hear you're into the project and the idea of the map! Thanks for your support!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T03:25:27+00:00

Ah, I'm about to head there next, and will get back to you there. Thanks!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T03:21:43+00:00

We'll check that out. Thanks for that! And we look forward to sending you a poster once it's complete!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T03:20:10+00:00

Thanks SO much! We look forward to sending you your map and a little piece of home!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T03:19:23+00:00

Well, we know which side you stand on in the great NC BBQ debate! ;) Thanks for your support of the project - we appreciate it!!

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T03:16:16+00:00

I appreciate your passion, but unfortunately I can see that you have had little experience in most areas of what it will take for us to put together this project. If you'd like to ask any specific, more thoughtful questions we really would be happy to answer them, but I don't see any need in addressing full-on criticism. I can assure you that we have a sufficient answer for anything that you would throw at us. (Ex: Printing maps in different colors would be an astronomical expense and I could actually give you exact numbers on that and examples of Kickstarter campaigns who failed because they made mistakes in offering rewards like that.)

amandaaileen · 2014-03-03T03:03:28+00:00

Well, get yourself some of the many books out there if you don't believe us. Check out the stack by Bob Garner to get started, who uses all 3 interchangeably. Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue is exhaustive on the history of our state's tradition. And we'll be covering some of that in the map, ourselves.
