I’ll put this right out here, I'm unabashedly North Carolinian. Born and raised here with deep family roots, and though I married a [damn] Yankee, and despite a few historical, political or weather-related disasters, my home state is something in which I take a great deal of pride (probably what makes me so touchy when hearing professional hockey doesn't belong in my back yard).
So was with great expectations that I attended the Hurricanes Homegrown Series media event Wednesday at PNC Arena. And it did not disappoint. Brisket with Cheerwine BBQ sauce? Country ham biscuits with Foothills Beer cheese sauce?
