In the weeks since Raleigh police worked the case of the pink meat, Clyde Cooper’s Barbeque has defended its pulled pork, even marketing itself as the home of the “infamous pink bbq” and creating “PinkBBQ” merchandise.Ashley Jessup, co-owner and manager of the downtown Raleigh institution, said the woman ordered, paid for and received a plate of barbecued pork shoulder toward the tail end of the lunch rush on Nov. 1.Jessup said she googled images of “smoked barbecue” on her phone in a vain effort to convince the woman that the pink coloring was a byproduct of the smoking process.Barbecue was very pink and had lots of fat in it.”Jessup took to Clyde Cooper’s Facebook page to defend her restaurant.“You kind of have to be like, ‘Well doggone, this is the best publicity we’re going to get, so let’s keep on with it,’ ” Jessup said."
