Ya'll I'm from Shelby and we pride ourselves on our barbecue.  I won't name names but these establishments have been a source of pride for my Cleveland County hometown for as long as I can remember.   And to answer your question, it is vinegar based like God intended:)

A survey by "Chef's Pencil" an international foodie magazine just came out with their list of the best and worst places in America for barbecue.

Charlotte has not really been known for its barbecue but that is quickly changing.  Several amazing restaurants have been popping up and we are here for it.  Charlotte ranked #3 in the country for best barbecue.   New Orleans came in first and Oklahoma City came in second.
