A buddy of mine was explaining to me that his family loved spicy food, the hotter the better. Well Nick became my second chief tester. After Adam had given me the idea of spicing up the base and giving it some character. I was surely going to work on the Memphis base. Then a idea popped into my head. I could make a Carolina Mustard base and spice it up for Nick's family. I got to work thinking this was going to be a base. My plan was to get 5 or 6 perfected bases then tweak them until I had 4 finished sauces for each base. I was then going to pick my favorite 2 and those would be the ones I tested against all types of meats. But this didn't happen. My mustard base ended up a finished sauce and I'm truly proud of it. It's definitely spicy like he wanted it. This bad boy is made almost exclusively for pork butt or pork shoulder. I would use it as a finishing sauce if the butt is being smoked whole but it would go great warmed up and topped on a pulled pork sandwich.
