Sweet Sauce 

Barbecue sauce is a strange thing, even in the barbecue world. In the Carolinas, it’s a staple that always accompanies pork or chicken. In Memphis, St. Louis, and Kansas City, barbecue sauce varies so much in type and taste, but they all have in common the necessity for sauce. In Texas, we’re arrogant and think our smoked meats stand on their own. But one thing I’ve learned from listening to customers is that they want sauce, so I give it to them. This sweet sauce is ideal for chopped beef sandwiches or to use with pulled pork. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tang, which I really like to cut through the richness of the smoked meats. And if you haven’t had brisket foldover sandwich with a couple slices of homemade dill pickles and sweet sauce on Martin’s bread, you haven’t lived life.
