would you consider sharing your favorite slowcooker recipe?
I had vinegar barbecue sauce at a pork roast and I thought the meat was bad. Pass.
I don't use honey but do use 50% Apple cider and basically the same stuff this guy uses…50% cider,50% vinegar(Apple cider vinegar,50% white vinegar), red and black pepper with plenty of salt
lol did you see how chef John took care of that digitally, i sure did. the exact same way i would 😉 love you
Chef John I love your videos and the food you cook. Recently I have read a book on cooking called On Food And Cooking The Science and Lore Of the Kitchen. In the book there is a paragraph about making Margarine. In the past margarine has been made from tallow and skim milk. I wonder if a margarine can be made from beef bone marrow. I believe that this is entirely possible and will have interesting property's. I hope you will response to me. thank you for your Tme and keep up the good work.
I know quite a few people here(in NC) who use ketchup as the base, so that's where any sweetness would originate from. 😀
Lightly sauce the pulled pork, put it on a hamburger bun, top with Cole slaw. The best way to use this sauce!
more honey less vinegar Worcester and Dijon mustard stick to the chicken better
"Hot Swampy Sauce" … that's what my label says. 😎
Digitally… fingers have digits… god damn it Chef John.
'North' Carolina? I've never gone to NC for good barbque.
THANK YOU CHEF FOR SHARING YOUR FOOD WITH US.
MY SELF I ALSO USED VINEGAR MIX WITH A FILL DROP OF DISH WASHER TO CLEAN MY HOUSE TOO👍
I nick named mine "Dismal Swamp Water" just to confuse my guests. I'm a Southern New Yorker who moved to NC and love this stuff on pulled pork, also now topped with Chow Chow instead of slaw and perhaps a squeeze of Rooster sauce. Now still smoking and pulling pork and living in the low country of South Carolina. Thanks for your take on this wonderful Eastern/western BBQ Sauce. I'll try it with honey next time.
This sauce..with a boston butt in a crockpot is just the best.

Western Style Eastern North Carolina style barbecue sauce? I am south and I find that offensive.
I like hot sauce but but Bruschetta is betta…!!!
this type of sauce is the best you can ever use for smoked meats. i however use brown sugar, some garlic and onion powder as well as some ketchup… its seriously awesome stuff
Am I the only one who likes his videos before the video starts…I love his channel
no sugar, no black pepper, …. all else yes….
Re: Pork sliding out of the sandwich and onto the plate: "Did you see how I took care of that digitally?" Brilliant humor, … as usual, Chef John!
I'm from Eastern NC 😄
Chef John, your western style eastern North Carolina-style barbecue sauce is on fleek.
I live in South Carolina, and for some reason it's always a debate on which Carolina BBQ sauce is better. I always vote for this one. The mustard-based one isn't bad, but it can really mask the flavor of the meat.
I grew up in NC and am currently living there, my grandad owned a bbq resturant in Winston-Salem, and I must say, you are missing 1 ingredient that is essential in most western or eastern NC sauce. That is Texas Pete hot sauce, which is made in (that's right, you guessed it) Winston-Salem NC!! Ha.
Did you know that East Virginia goes more west than West Virginia? True story.
OMG this makes me so homesick! I'm an Eastern NC bbq girl, having grown up in Raleigh! I'm gonna have to try this! 😀
This looks a lot the sauce my Filipino friend makes for his crab.
Im from North Carolina. I make this sauce all the time, i usually bring it to a boil then refrigerate
Thumbs up if you think Chef John needs to do a video where he eats a Carolina Reaper pepper! 🙂
I hope your recipe tastes better than what my family and myself had in a eatery just outside of Raleigh, NC. Our dinner was floating in a high vinegar and oil base with red pepper flakes. So strong that my husband with the iron stomach took 1 bite and pushed his plate away. Nobody in our family eat the dinner and we left and went down the road to a super good Italian restaurant.
Hello from North Carolina! Where are you all from?
I'm more into western South Carolina barbeque sauce but I guess this'll do.
Is the apple cider vinegar key here? Or can I go for balsamic vinegar in a pinch?
If you do that whole thing in a sauce pan and simmer it for alittle bit the pepper flavor permeates the sauce better. Then you can cool it if you want. Ive also seen recipes with some ketchup in there too to add alittle more depth of flavor (though Im pretty sure if you tried to make it that way in NC theyd run you out of town…)
how about carolina inspired, west coast bbq sauce
Chef John is going to the LA food and wine festival.
I wonder what Larry from the Wolfe Pit thinks about this?
My whole family and I are from North Carolina, and this is super inaccurate. I am lying. This looks good.
nice job, honey was a good twist!! cant wait to try it!!
so cal! hopefully San Diego.
I miss in this channel those "1 minute tip" videos: how to boil eggs, how to cut bread… You know 🙄
Great recipe, I use this type of sauce on all my pork cooks.
San Diego visit perhaps !!
