South Carolina: Where All Barbecue Sauces Meet
Thanks to the blog, Strange Maps, for sharing this map of the four regions of South Carolina barbecue sauce (and to reader, jmunchie, for sending us the link!). The two dominant North Carolina styles, eastern-style vinegar and pepper and western-style tomato drift southward, and Georgia's ketchup creeps in from the west. South Carolina's own mustard-style, a reflection of the state's German heritage, holds back the outsiders from within.

South Carolina Mustard Bar-B-Que RULES! You have just got to taste this stuff! We'll never go back to tomato or ketchup-based BBQ again....we have to ship mustard BBQ to our son in Chicago!
