Carolina Bold Gold

In the U.S. there are a handful of regional barbecue influences, and one of them is the Carolinas. The central portion of South Carolina is known for their mustard-based sauces. This is my interpretation of a South Carolina mustard sauce. As the name implies, this is a bold sauce, but it's not an in-your-face blast of mustard and heat. Instead, I'd like to think that it's refined, mellow, but yet it lets its roots shine. Think of it as a down home sauce in its best Sunday overalls.
