i make sauce on the side so people can have some if they choose. i would never presume what folks like on their BBQ so i let them sauce their own or not as they choose. thats why i avoid places that sauce their BBQ for the customers.
sauce on the meat usually tells folks that my BBQ isnt that great so here have some sauce so you cant tell i screwed it up...
i think thats why I think french cooking is usually heavily sauced since the food is kinda bad.
but i digress, corn on the cob, mashed taters, fresh bread, raw onions, fried okra, onion rings, corn bread, pickles, pinto beans, cole slaw, mexican rice, or potato salad are all good sides and im prolly leaving out quite a few.
