I've always heard this from inferior BBQ styles.

NC has a "whole hog" style, but the sauces are the real difference.

Eastern NC is vinegar and peppers. Western NC is vinegar and peppers and ketchup. South Carolina is vinegar and peppers and mustard.

You see the difference? That's why NC has an official Eastern and Western style whole hog bbq.

    I mean if you like the taste of bbq sauce that’s fine but the sauce tastes the same whether or not you put in the work on the meat. A good sauce can add to good bbq meat but it shouldn’t be the only reason your meat tastes good.

    The problem is the vinegar. That's not BBQ sauce, it's salad dressing.

    My guy, you need to learn more about cooking.

    Acids have a brightness that is excellent to cut fats. That's how you make a salad dressing (fat, acid, emulsifier, flavor)

    The BBQ is fatty pig. The sauce is acid and flavor. That's just balancing flavors.

    You do usually mop with acid, but it's not a problem to add some fresh. That's the same as squeezing a lime on a taco or a lemon on an oyster.
