Bessinger, certainly the most famous surname in South Carolina barbecue. Mustard sauce, Piggy Park. Icons of South Carolina history and culture and Bessinger family inventions.
One of fourteen children born to Mack Bessinger, restaurant patriarch Joseph Jacob, was known as ‘Big Joe.’ He moved from the family farm near Orangeburg to open the Holly Hill Café in 1939. There, together with the Sweatman family, he concocted a mustard-based barbecue sauce, owning to their shared German roots. That “Golden Secret,” as the Bessingers call it, became the state’s signature sauce.
Melvin Bessinger, like most of his ten siblings, followed his father into the barbecue business. In 1961, with another brother, Melvin opened his first barbecue restaurant in west Charleston. Three decades later, Melvin split off to found his own barbecue joint. Today, third-generation barbecue entrepreneur, David Bessinger, maintains the Bessinger family tradition.

I am an ultimate fan of barbecue and I can't afford to go out for a picnic without the barbecue grill in the car. Grilling squeezes out the real flavor of the meat.
ReplyDeleteBut all barbecues are not the same, and there are fierce arguments about just what constitutes the one true technique for grilling the perfect steak or best rack of baby back ribs. Some purists insist that only charcoal grills provide a true flavor of barbecue, while others prefer the convenience of a gas grill or the authentic taste of an old fashioned wood stove.Char-Griller 2-2424 Review
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorite since grade school while playing mortal kombat free in my pc.
ReplyDeletefamous Original Golden Secret with a kick! We've blended Habanero chilies and liquid smoke with our mustard base family recipe, providing bold spicy flavor for those who can take the heat. Melvin's Spicy Golden Secret is perfect on pork, ribs, chicken, burgers, fish, turkey, or even on salads! deck designer in omaha
ReplyDeleteThe last time you stopped in a town populated by just fewer than 500 people, it probably wasn't so you could grab some barbecue click here
ReplyDeletegreat balance between sweetness, spice, tang, and the ubiquitous bite mustard while still leaving room for added complexity from Worcestershire that makes it a fine sauce to slather on ribs, pulled pork, and more. our services
