South Carolina was the birthplace of the modern American barbecue tradition. In the early 19th century, African slaves in the state developed a technique for slow-cooking meat over a wood fire, which became known as "barbecue." Today, South Carolina is known for its distinctive mustard-based barbecue sauce, which is popular in the central part of the state.
