I grew up in Miami, which was much more culturally similar to a northern city than a southern one. I’ve lived in Atlanta and now live in the Raleigh area. I saw this article the other day and mentioned it to my wife. Neither of us had ever heard of Brunswick stew before.
Edit: huh, it's on the menu at Danny's. Never noticed:
Big fan of Ole Time. And it's the exception to my rule that any place called 'Ole Time' probably isn't.
The pulled-pork sandwich at Clyde Cooper's in downtown Raleigh is worth checking out. It's worth taking a trip out to the Skylight Inn for the experience and street cred, but, to me, the pulled-pork sandwich there isn't really any better than the above-mentioned places.
Disclaimer: FL native, only been in NC about a decade, I've got no business judging pulled-pork sandwiches. I think I can say that the classic Eastern North Carolina pulled-pork sandwich dressed in vinegar, red pepper flakes, and cole slaw is easily one of the US's great sandwiches.

God damn, yes, but the U.S. has a lot of great sandwiches:
Some other favorites of mine are the Reuben, the Oyster Po Boy, and of course, being from Miami, a Cuban. Or just a humble grilled cheese, but made with caramelized onions:
