Eastern Carolina Barbecue Sauce
Barbecue sauce is like a beautiful woman. If it's too sweet, it's bound to be hiding something.

         — Lyle Lovett

Folks in the Carolinas call their barbecue sauce “Finishing Sauce.” It is decidedly different from western barbecue sauces which are tomato based. As a matter of fact, there is a war between western and eastern North Carolina with regard to their barbecue sauces, with western Carolina leaning more heavily to the traditional barbecue sauces of the midwestern and western states.
