WOW. \n\nEveryone has been waiting for some authentic NC BBQ here in Charlotte, and they don't realize it's been hiding at Sauceman's. On my visit, this place totally under-promised, and over-delivered. I really like the fact that they are not only trying to provide a quality product, but also explain the roots of North Carolina barbeque, which I haven't really seen executed before. \n\nHowever---on to the food. \n\nI feel like with any new trip to a barbeque establishment, one must always order a pulled pork sandwich, and I was no different. Mine came with a (small) side of white slaw, and I also ordered an additional side of mac & cheese. Let me say that I was at the BBQ & blues festival a few months back, and this pork can place up with the best of them. It was so good, I couldn't help myself just piling the slaw on top of the sandwich and just go after both of them at the same time. The mac & cheese was also killer; definitely homemade & put together with care. \n\nThis place epitomizes southern barbeque, with clearly time tested recipes, and just plain 'ole good food...we went with a group of 4, and had no food left behind. \n\nOur experience was truly worthy of 5 stars.
