Pitt County, North Carolina
Sam’s original Eastern Carolina barbecue sauce—bright with vinegar, generous with pepper, and carrying just the right zip.
The original family recipe
Same family recipe.
A better bottle.
It started as a Christmas gift
Every year, our dad Sam saved old wine bottles, filled them with his Eastern North Carolina barbecue sauce, and gave them to friends and family for Christmas.
We grew up with that bottle on the table—sharp, peppery, and impossible to mistake for anything else. Sam & Sons is our way of passing it on.
— Sam & his sons
The Eastern Carolina way
A thin, vinegar-forward sauce made to soak into slow-cooked pork—not sit on top of it. The pepper brings the punch. The tang keeps you coming back.
Bright tang that cuts through rich, smoky pork.
A lively kick you feel without losing the flavor.
The same family recipe that started in Sam’s kitchen.
Pass it around
Where it belongs. Shake generously and chop it right in.
Use it as a finishing splash for a bright, peppery lift.
A dash wakes up sides, sandwiches, and whatever needs zip.
From Sam, with zip.
