Outlaw BBQ Shack in Matthews NC We're serious about our barbecue here in the Carolinas.  We can discuss endlessly the virtues of the different sauces and which makes the best barbecue:  tomato-based sauce in piedmont North Carolina, vinegar-based sauce down in eastern North Carolina, or mustard-based sauce from Columbia, South Carolina.  What I can add to the debate is that my favorite barbecue is found in downtown Matthews NC at the Outlaw BBQ Shack.  Owned by Steven and Lynn Colombo, the Outlaw BBQ Shack is tucked away behind an Italian restaurant that is next to the Matthews Post Office.  You have to drive around the Italian restaurant to find the little storefront but the hunt is well worth your effort.

A friend and i were just talking when she started talking about the issues in the banking system today... Follow the money. Who made money with the real estate  values were going up uncontrolably? The banks. When the $%@ hit the fan who gets the bail out money? The Banks. Gee whiz... let's control the appraisers now by making them sign up with appraisal management companies to insulate them from the banks and lending institutions. Twenty year relationships with lenders is out the door with FannieMae and Freddie Mac in favor of appraisal managment companies who now will take a piece of the appraiser's fee... totally illigal with RESPA till it passed into law. Wow. 05/05/2009
