BULL CITY BARBEQUE CO.

Bull City BBQ proudly sells NC, vinegar-based sauces and rubs . We do it old school style with small batches and award-winning flavor.

While attending University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill — and a whole lotta pig pickins we discovered a shared passion for true wood-smoked BBQ and the deep-seated culture and friendship those gatherings reinforce.

Throughout the next decade and a half, while starting families and hosting our own barbecues, we realized it was now our turn to continue and pass on this heart-felt tradition. Always sure to have lots of fun, we’ve stayed “old school” by making rubs and sauces from scratch and cookin’ “low and slow” with hardwoods (gas-free) for anywhere from 10-20 hours.

With overwhelming support for our “old school” approach, we decided to see how we stacked up against the pros. Our two-man team plus good friend ‘Rick Rick’ packed the truck full of Hope Valley hickory wood and headed to our first cookoff, the 26th Annual Hillsborough Hog Day. Using our ol’ #14 BBQ sauce-and-rub combination and our “old school” techniques, the Bull City BBQ team ended up taking home the trophy. What a day for the first timers! From that day forward, Bull City BBQ had legitimate “street credibility” in the old school circles and we haven’t looked back.
