I was raised on Mustard BBQ. I grew up in the piedmont of SC, or the upper-middle part of the state. We were pretty close to Wise's BBQ (oh the HASH!), a place whose mustard bbq sauce I've read* is about as close to the original old-time mustard bbq sauce that there is. I've tried other mustard sauces, and they usually end up being sweeter than I'd like. To be fair, I don't care for it being sweet at all. I've had Maurice's, which is usually what folks think of when mustard bbq in SC is mentioned, but if I'm remembering correctly, it was too sweet as well.
Wise's Mustard BBQ sauce is obviously mustard based, but it has a strong vinegar component and heavy black pepper. Based on the color, I suspect there's some worcestershire sauce in it as well. Oh, and a butter component. My uncle has the recipe, but I'm having a hard time getting in touch with him.
So my questions:
1.) Any mustard bbq fans? Wise's?
2.) Any commercial-in-the-stores mustard-based bbq sauces that you can recommend that aren't very sweet?
*Can't find the source presently.
