South Carolinians traveling to Washington just may have to take a little barbecue sauce along. In Washington, mustard-based barbecue sauce is getting the shaft. Sauce preferences alone divide the state of South Carolina into three very distinct areas. In the Upstate, it's a tomato-based sauce. In the Midlands, it's a mustard-based sauce. In the Lowcountry, it's a vinegar and pepper-based sauce. And, there's a small portion the state that likes a ketchup-based sauce.

With Memorial Day just around the corner, barbecue is on the minds of many. So after a successful run with barbecue, we decided to pit the best places in our Upstate Patch sites against one another.
Pulled or chopped pork, it's the other white meat in South Carolina. And who does it best in the Upstate? In our last Readers' Choice contest on barbecue, we asked readers in Easley, Mauldin and Taylors to tell us who had the "best barbecue in town." Now we are taking those three winners and pitting them against one another. The three places have been chosen: So which joint's barbecue reigns supreme? That is up to you. Vote for your favorite place in the poll below, and don't forget to tell us why in the comments section.

It's time to tell us who has the most lip-smackin' que in Taylors-Wade Hampton.
Pulled or chopped pork, it's the other white meat in South Carolina. Whether you call it bbq, que, bubba cue or just plain barbecue, it's all finger-lickin' good. In this week's Readers' Choice contest, we are looking for the "best barbecue" in town. To some it may just be food, but to others it's a way of life. Barbecue is not only a verb in South Carolina; it's also a noun. (i.e. I'm barbequing this weekend. or Barbecue is my first love.)
