Carolina BBQ Sauce
BBQ is one of the great pleasures of the backyard cook. The term bar-be-que means different things to different people.
In upstate New York (where my parents are from) BBQ is a verb, and refers to cooking something on the grill.
When I was a kid, BBQ meant grilled chicken slathered with a semi-sweet tomato based sauce. Down South, where my husband is from, BBQ is a noun meaning pulled-pork or pulled-chicken which is cooked in a crock pot or cooked low-and-slow on a grill/smoker.

You can almost tell from which region of the U.S. a person is from by the style of BBQ sauce they prefer. To my knowledge there are 5 traditional styles of U.S. BBQ sauce:

Sticky-sweet Kansas City BBQ Sauce
Less-sweet, tomato based Texas BBQ Sauce
Apple cider vinegar BBQ sauce or North Carolina BBQ Sauce
Mayonnaise based Alabama White Sauce
South Carolina Sweet Mustard BBQ Sauce
