What happens when the box shows up
“I discovered earlier this year that Parkers will ship out of state, so for his birthday I ordered the BBQ Variety pack. My husband loved everything! My advice to anyone placing an order, order some extra sides, because you're gonna want them too!”
“Since I have moved to Nebraska no one knows how to fix good BBQ and when I found out that Parker’s will ship their BBQ I knew I had to have some of their most delicious and moist BBQ around. Now my neighbors all want some.”
“I’ve even gifted this stuff to relatives! Just real good grub at a fair price.”
“It takes me home wherever I may be.”

A family tradition
The Parker family opened their first barbecue restaurant in 1946. In March of 1970, J.C. Parker and his son Doug opened the doors in Greenville, North Carolina, and we have cooked whole hog barbecue the Eastern North Carolina way ever since.
It is chopped, seasoned with vinegar and red pepper, and served with hushpuppies and corn sticks. The barbecue in the box is the same barbecue on the table in our restaurants.
