Roxy- You're hilarious, my friend.... Come on, putting mustard sauce on chopped bbq is like ordering the porterhouse at Peter Lugars Steakhouse in NY and asking for a bottle of Hunts catsup. No self respecting NC bbq patron does it.

Actually, I grew up in NW South Carolina, and most BBQ around here has always been served unsauced...usually with both mustard and tomato based sauces on the side. Growing up you rarely saw the vinegar based sauces of Eastern NC. They are more popular these days.

Nowdays I like all three...just according to my mood at the time...but my favorite is no sauce at all!!!

I would say go with 1 cup AJ 1 cup BBQ Sauce 1 Cup Cider vinegar and a couple TBSPs of rub...mix and toss on the pork...nice thin sauce for pork that adds a nice tang...

Hey Sax. Were you getting your Slice Q at the Beacon?

Sax · Posted: Feb 08 2008 Post subject:

I have to admit they make a great sliced pork sammie there. They also make a killer "Outside", which is basically a "bark" sandwich. But I usually use up my once-a-month trip to the Beacon on a "Double-Chili-Cheese A-Plenty or a BeaconBurger!

I make my own Q most of the time but Mutts has some pretty good Q, and I've heard rave reviews about a new place in Boiling Springs, although I haven't tried it yet.

I agree. I used to live in Duncan... Now live in Fort Mill. I try and get there onmce a month for a Chili Cheese a Plenty and Tea. Can't beat the tea.... Hungry just thinking about it. Beacon and Byrnes Rebel Football. Can't get any better than that.

Well, I guess I'm just a BBQ heretic. I grew up in Alabama and on sweet tomato sauces. As I aged, I developed an appreciation for the mustard sacues of the Low Country (some of them are even in my top 10). What I've never really been able to grow to appreciate is a vinegar-based sauce. I'm always tempted to whisk some oil into it and use it to dress a salad.

I guess there's some truth in the old saw "For those that like those things...those are the things that they like."

You notice that I am not being pejorative towards these sauces, but I fail to manage to appreciate them with the same reverence their fans do.

Big Orson, I'm kinda the same way. I much prefer the mustard & tomato based sauces. I suppose it's just a matter of taste. My lady & I grew up within 15 miles of each other & she loves vinegar sauces and dislikes the mustard ones. Laughing

I guess it's kinda like I literally drool at the thought of a good sushi meal and almost upchuck at the smell of liver, while I have good friends that are exactly the opposite..........Guess that's why they make red cars and blue cars! LOL!!! Laughing

It truly is a NC thing. I don't know of any other place in the country where vinegar is so revered and debated. I grew up putting it on everything, and especially bbq. We always love the things that remind us of home, and for NC'inians, vinegar is one of them.

I guess I just have the benefit of not growing up in any of those regions and did not have the bias imposed upon me from birth so there for I can sit back from a great distance and see all the great things that the good old US of A has to offer when it comes to BBQ. I do believe that regional bias is like blinders to other flavours and methods of making great BBQ.

Hey, its all good to me.. just some better than others. Wink
