Carolina vinegar-pepper barbecue · Greenville

Slow-smoked pulled pork dressed with thin vinegar-and-red-pepper sauce. The original American barbecue sauce, traceable to Native American basting traditions.

Vinegar-pepper sauce is perhaps the oldest barbecue sauce in the United States, with roots in basting techniques used by Native Americans in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. It moved north into the Upstate through Carolina migration patterns. The Upstate uses the thinner vinegar sauce more than the Midlands mustard. Henry's Smokehouse has been doing the Upstate vinegar style on Wade Hampton since 1992.
