Thin, sharp, vinegar and pepper based — the style you find in barbecue joints across the South, and the opposite of the Original in every way that counts.

On its own it's a pulled pork sauce. Vinegar cuts fat, which is exactly what a rich shoulder needs, and it soaks into the meat instead of sitting on top. Works as a marinade or a baste too.

The other half of its job is mixing. Add it to the Original and you can slide the whole thing anywhere you want between sweet and sharp. Most cooks who keep both have a ratio they swear by and won't tell you.
