This recipe brought to you by Gourmet Warehouse. All opinions are 100% my own.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned as a ‘foodie’ having lived in two majorly different parts of the US is that BBQ is so drastically different every where you go. Carolina BBQ is typically a slow cooked pulled pork topped with a mustard-vinegar BBQ sauce. BBQ in Texas normally consists of beef grilled over an open flame. The one thing both places do have in common – they take their BBQ very seriously!

While I’ve slowly become more & more accustomed to the Texas style of BBQ, to me, there’s still nothing that beats a good Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce! So when Gourmet Warehouse graciously offered to send me a bottle or two of their delicious BBQ Sauces, Marinades, or Spice Rubs, y’all know I wasn’t saying no! It’s impossible to find a good Carolina BBQ sauce here in Texas without just making my own so to be able to have a sauce I love shipped right to my door?!? I’m in Heaven! Gourmet Warehouse’s Golden Carolina BBQ Sauce is a perfect blend of flavors for a true Southern style BBQ sauce! It would convert even the most devout mustard haters! 😉
