Don't feel like you're stuck in Columbia. For great meat, better sauce, and less politics, head a little west to Wise's in Jalapa, SC, near I-26 (open Fri. & Sat. only AFAIK). See my post #32 above for more info.

[BEGIN TRIVIA] From the discussions I've had with long-time families of the area, I understand that the use of mustard as a base for sauce originated in the Newberry area and then spread to other areas, starting with Columbia and Greenville, and then further. Even here in Colorado, several BBQ restaurants offer some sort of "Carolina" mustard-based sauce, but most of those sauces are much sweeter than the traditional sauces. The original recipes which I have seen for the mustard sauces used almost no sugar or honey. [END TRIVIA]
