The Truth about BBQ Sauce

Lately I've been using a Wasabi-based BBQ sauce to good effect, more to bring out the natural flavor of the meat than to introduce new flavors.

Memphis, Kansas City, Texas. All sauces made in an attempt to recreate the quality of the one true sauce, Eastern NC. Unfortunately they have not even come close

The best BBQ sauce off the rack is Montgomery Inn Ribs King sauce. It's made in Cinn. and they sell it here in Indiana. For the best BBQ sauce you ever had try this:

Three parts Rib King Sauce
One part Kraft regular BBQ sauce
One teaspoon of Tiger Sauce

three or four drops of Tabasco Sauce
A shot glass sized slug of beer

Try this out and I doubt you ever want another BBQ sauce ever. It's my (formerly) secret receipe

Can you add anything to this discussion, Ms. Southern chick?

The Mecca for BBQ is in Lexington, NC. Everything else is a pale substitute. Try eating at either "Lexington BBQ" or "BBQ Center." They are the two best versions of Lexington BBQ. When you order a plate also order a "Cheerwine" to go with it. Another Western Carolina invention. Delicious. Don't forget to finish with a serving of Banana Pudding. Yum.

Apple Cider Vinegar
Red pepper
Black pepper
Hot sauce

(don't be sparing with the ingredients.)

Mix it, let it sit for a day, then apply often to pork on the barbeque or smoker. You can make it in a big ole jar and poke holes in the top to create a shaker. It's ready to eat as is, but for sandwiches, I'll make a sweeter sauce to drizzle on top after the pork's on a bun. Made it last Sunday - the dog gets excited when she hears charcoal going into the smoker pan.

Yeah right. Try Hog Heaven in Little Washington or Parkers in Wilson. Even Stamey's in Greensboro is better that anything in Lexington.

Let the flame wars begin!

"Make sure to have a cold beverage handy to put out the fire!"

That would be a glass of milk with a high fat content. The fat helps absorb some of the capsaicin.

Beer, water, iced tea or sodas won't help and may make the "burn" worse.

If you can't take the heat, don't eat BBQ.

Yo - AppyPappy, not to get too personal, but eastern NC BBQ is not as good as wester NC BBQ. I will admit I prefer the way easterners prepare their cole slaw.

[Publius6961]

Strange... that one very famous sauce is not mentioned.
Might it be because it is Politically Incorrect? I never tried it because I couldn't find it in California, but it's southern and somehow got a "racist" reputation and some supermarket chains decided no longer to carry it...

Any input here?

[Kaylee Frye]

Ooh, you're makin' me miss my good old Eastern NC BBQ. No one else makes BBQ like that. Gonna have to trot over to Amazon and pick me up some Kings BBQ.

Obviously wouldn't have occurred to the stupid white man without help from his superior red brother.

Specially ironic, from an article originating in --- India!
