As barbecue has increasingly become a national phenomenon, barbecue sauce has changed. The condiment still generally conforms to our basic regional notions: Kansas City tomato-based, South Carolina mustard-based, North Carolina vinegar- and-pepper-based.

About one-quarter of our contest entries made the first cut. We tested those, and our panel of 11 tasters sampled them on their own and with … Continue reading
