Official 2012 Democratic National Convention BBQ Sauces

Back in February, we launched a search for the best BBQ sauces to become the official sauces of the 2012 Democratic National Convention. We were looking for the best sauce in three different categories that represent the different regions of the Carolinas — a western North Carolina tomato-based sauce, an eastern North Carolina vinegar-based sauce, and a South Carolina mustard-based sauce.

We were excited to receive 30 different sauce submissions from around the country. The sauces ranged from homemade to nationally recognized brands. After the sauce submission deadline, we gathered a group of qualified BBQ judges to help us pick a winner in each category.
Want to know who the winners are? Watch this video to find out!

After you watch the video, head over to our merchandise store and order your own official sauces of the 2012 Democratic National Convention. You can also pick up the 2012 Convention BBQ pack — the sauces, an apron, and an oven mitt.
