Regal Eagle Smokehouse House Barbecue Sauces
This new BBQ restaurant will be all about the sauces. With some rich flavors to choose from, plan on finding not only the perfect sauce for your meal but the perfect draft or cider to go with it:
Spicy Mop Sauce – inspired by Texas-style “mop” this thin glaze barbecue usually has stock, vinegar, Worcestershire, and spices like salt, pepper, and garlic included.
Sweet BBQ Sauce – inspired by classic dry rub seasonings made with brown sugars, molasses and tomato.
Vinegar-based Sauce – inspired by North Carolina’s tradition of vinegar and pepper combining spices like cayenne, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and hot sauce.
Tangy Mustard Sauce – often referred to as “Carolina Gold” is thinned with vinegar and added spices for a zingy flavor.
