Question: The yellow/gold bbq sauce referred to as 'Carolina sauce' or 'Carolina BBQ'; is it more South Carolina? From the maps I've seen on Google it appears that it's a South Carolina thing but it's hard to find definitive information. Also, where is the best place to get this type of BBQ?

I personally love NC BBQ, vinegar and hot pepper, yum. Y'all got alot to learn about chicken wings though.

The yellow sauce is mustard based and is much more common in SC. In Charleston where I live the best places are Bessingers,
Dukes, and Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ. I'm adding a link that you might find of use.

Do you mean the vinegar based sauce or the mustard based sauce?

I grew up in TN and prefer the Memphis style BBQ, as well as Texas BBQing of beef that is essentially Memphis style for cows. And that is tomato based sauce, which is the norm in the western third of NC.

In NC, the vinegar based sauce is all powerful in the eastern half off the state. It is prominent in all parts of SC except the northwestern corner, where tomato bases sauce is the norm.

There is more mustard based sauce in SC than NC, but it is also easily found in at least the eastern half of NC. You also find mustard based sauce in eastern and southern GA.

Is there one of these things for Upstate, or better yet, Central NY?

Yeah the mustard based sauce. My favorite divebar in Nashville calls the gold wings 'Carolina wings' and they're some of my favorite wings in town. It's basically the same as this -

Any good spot to get some of this style BBQ on either the Wake Forest or Clemson roadtrips?

Love that it has Corning as "Open-Face Calzone"

Aniello's Pizzeria is King baby!

Hot Dogs

I had a very delicious meatball parm in Corning years ago. No idea where it was--maybe there?

If you were on Market Street most likely. The place is dimly lit and has all booth/cafeteria style seating... their meatballs are on point as well.

Get some meatballs in your calzone and then you're doing it right!

"Open-Face Calzone" caught my eye, too.

The rest of the state has that. It's called "pizza."

If you visit North Carolina this is the sauce you want to bring back with you. Vinegar based, no sugar and all delicious.

Ohio is the best!

Carolinians will find that out once UNC joins the B1G along with UVA.

You can add Arkansas to the beef tomato based sauce. Good eating.
