In North Carolina, residents eat their pulled pork with a light brown vinegar sauce. In Georgia and Tennessee, Spare ribs are paired with a deep red BBQ sauce. South Carolina has its own color- yellow. The prevalence of yellow BBQ sauce in the state is likely from the early German settlers’ to the region who brought with them a love of mustard. Known as Columbia Gold, this wonderful yellow mustard-based sauce is a unique take on BBQ paired well with pulled pork and ribs. It is also versatile enough to go on lamb, hot dogs, sandwiches, and hamburgers.
