Regional American BBQ Sauces

We've talked about barbecue before. Barbecue sauce is a flavoring condiment ranging from watery to very thick consistency. As the name implies, it was created as an accompaniment to barbecued foods. While it can be applied to any food, it usually tops meat after cooking or during barbecuing, grilling, or baking. Traditionally it has been a favored sauce for pork or beef ribs and chicken.

But why stop there? Isn't everything better with barbecue sauce? Well, maybe not maple bacon donuts, but you get the general idea.

This week, a look at regional American BBQ sauces.
