There are some Carolina dishes that I really like, and some that I'm ambivalent about.
I didn't like the BBQ at Alligator River, but I did like this one that I got at Roanoke Island. It was pulled pork, served with mayonnaise-based coleslaw and hush puppies on the side.
Core Sound or Carolina clam chowder is good, but I like the New England style better.

My grandmother made corn pudding and a grated carrot recipe that I love.
I dont' care for sweet potato pie, but I love sweet potato muffins. I like grits
