Cooper's BBQ in Raleigh, NC got a call for a take-out order Saturday night (10/3) just before closing that was worth staying late to fill.  The order for barbecue, hush puppies, fried chicken, pork rinds, ribs and cole slaw for 25 came from a U2 tour jet about to touch down before the band's concert at Carter-Finley Stadium.  The band wanted the food delivered to the jet before a scheduled 10:50 departure.  The only hitch was Cooper's doesn't take plastic.  Not a problem. $300 was collected to pay co-owner Debbie Holt and her 14 year-old daughter to deliver what the band had heard was the too good to miss out on fixins.
