Pigpickins are some of the best food you'll ever have. Right next to fresh caught seafood (I'm from the beach).

When you asked about seafood in Greenville and being you have ECU and TN listed as who you root for I was thinking you were from TN.

New Orleans #6 (Voodoo, the Joint)

We have a few good BBQ places, but it's mostly higher-end places. Fette Sau is a Brooklyn import that has won all kinds of culinary awards. Smokin Betty's is also really good but more of a restaurant than a traditional BBQ place.

Never had Eastern NC BBQ. Love Texas BBQ, but my favorite is without a doubt Kansas City BBQ. Could eat Jack Stack all day every day.

Vedge is the top vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Philly.

Come on down to Greenville for an ECU Temple game. Not a bad drive from Philly. We will hook you up with some Eastern North Carolina barbecue. Get you some fried seafood while you're down here too

I dont eat seafood, but I'm definitely down for some BBQ. If I move to the Triangle, I will definitely make it for games at ECU.

If you move to the Triangle, the highest quality of living will be in Apex, Cary or Wakefield...all convenient to RTP. I guess it does depend on what what you do, your salary, what interests you and what type of "life" you are looking for. If you have a family and care about schools, you'll want to look into the towns I mentioned. If you are young and want a nightlife (which is relatively non-existent here), then you probably want to live in Raleigh.

I've been to Wilbur's in Goldsboro. Apparently he's a State fan that has some beef with the University and gives his money to ECU instead. Who knows if that is true? I do know their customer service and attitude sucks. Their bbq is pretty good although it's not as good as B's. I like their slaw. The rest of their sides are mediocre at best. I don't know that I'd make a trip to eat there, but I would stop if I was passing by.

Appreciate it. I'm graduating from Temple next month. Definitely looking to live in either Raleigh or Chapel Hill (sorry ECU fans).
