Kansas City meets Carolina BBQ Sauce

Kansas City meets Carolina BBQ Sauce combines the best of both worlds in one sauce. Sweet yet a little spicy with the addition of mustard and other ingredients. This sauce will blow your mind!

The lifelong feud of the Kansas City BBQ Sauce VS Carolina Style BBQ Sauce continues, as it has since the beginning of BBQ Sauces being marketed. Kansas City Barbecue Sauce or Carolina style Barbecue Sauce lovers say the two shall never meet. They are not married to me now, are they?

Today was the day to end the BBQ dispute in our household by compromising my usual favorite recipe for BBQ Sauce. Yes, by now, most of you know I am a Kansas City BBQ sauce girl, and that darn husband of mine is a Carolina Style BBQ monster, I mean guy. Did I say that? OK, yes, I did, but of course, in good fun.

I wondered what would happen If I just changed things up a little and just gave him his mustard base, sigh yet I would be missing my tomato base, wouldn’t I? Oh, my sweet, dark, beloved BBQ sauce, how I would cut that deliciously comforting flavor today. Or would I? Not on your life, sister!

I decide in every marriage or relationship. There must be some form of compromise to keep the heavenly peace from above. So what would it hurt if I joined his flavors with my flavors? I decided not to say a word for fear the usual disagreements on BBQ sauce would be in full force. I just decided to have my Kansas City Style meet his Carolina Style BBQ sauce and see if they might form a bonding relationship of tastiness, so my journey began.

I sat down, looking over my usual suspect recipe, and instantly, I had the solution to our long battle over the BBQ styles, there would be World Peace, love, devotion, and hopefully, yes, hopefully, yumminess and none of his manly complaining across my lovely glass table. Tonight, I would become super wife, saving myself from the comments of that husband of mine about his Carolina BBQ Sauce.
