Sauce Info Wanted - Asheboro NC, Blue Mist BBQ

I'm not far from Asheboro, but not familiar with Blue Mist. Here's "Big Daddy's" Carolina Style sauce recipe that I found on-line. It certainly has some tang to it and it has been a hit with my family and the neighborhood. Give it a try:

1 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

---

Simmer the ingredients above for 30 min. then add the soy, butter, and smoke>
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon liquid smoke

That won't be close.

From memory it was more of a tangy ketchupy sauce.

I had the sliced pork sandwhich when I was there a few months ago.

Here is plate bbq from a different restaurant. Jed's located in Asheboro.


It was really watery ketchup with a little tang. Honestly not worth stopping at this place for the pork side or sauce.

Eastern NC style is nearly all vinegar. As you go west you get into red sauces. Supposedly in the Piedmont you find mustard based sauces. I've never encountered a mustard sauce in NC but I have in SC. The is an bottled sauce I buy that has mustard in it I think I'll have to look at a bottle. Carolina Treet. I've never tried it straight I always mix it with other things.

As a kid growing up bbq sauce at pig pickins was a bottle of vinegar with some sugar, salt, and peppers thrown in.
