 bbq products If you are a fan of Eastern North Carolina barbecue, then we have found a gem for you. These sauces and rubs are by no means new products but they certainly are worthy of some attention for fans of the vinegar sauces. In 1996 Carl Lewis stole our hearts through our tongues with his original John Boy & Billy's Grillin' Sauce. His regu- lar appearances alongside radio DJ's "John Boy & Billy" on their nationally syndicated "the Big Show," made him a fan favorite as Carl the Cook. No overnight success, this delicate recipe has been simmering in the heart of this Southern family for decades among the pines of eastern North Carolina. As of 2011, Carl's line of original BBQ & Hot Sauces, blended Rubs and Marinades, continues to expand the same way this celebrity Grilling Master created them... by cooking & experimenting with family and friends at home, at church, on the road, in the backyard and at BBQ competitions across the country. For our tests, we used the sauces for basting dur- ing the cook- ing process, as a mari- nade, and also used John Boy & Billy's Grillin' Sauces and Rubs  Ben Que’n Product Reviews info@barbecuenews.com   them as a stand-alone table sauce. We found that our fa- vorite combination for chicken was the chicken rub to get started and then using the Eastern North Carolina sauce as a baste with the Mild and Sweet Grillin' Sauce as a fin- isher and side sauce. We would be happy to turn those test samples into any competition box regardless of where we were competing. Our pork test took place on several pork steaks. Our best results came when we began with the pork rub and used the original Grillin' Sauce as a baste during the cooking process and finished up with the Mild and Sweet Sauce on the table. We had a sample of Carl & 'Chelle's Grill Room Steak Shake in the box we received as well, and it turned out to be a winner on sirloin steaks we tested with it...while using a touch of butter during the grilling process. We also have seen several SCA competi- tors win their Golden Tickets when using the Steak Shake.
