So, a professor over at NC State, Dr. Chris DePerno, who's been teaching wildlife management for over 20 years, decided to put his scientific mind. To work on something a little different, barbecue sauce. He's taken his passion for North Carolina's distinct Eastern and Western barbecue styles and bottled it up into something called NC State's Labyrinth. Sauce. He's saying just some random sauce. It's officially licensed by the university. He's been perfecting this recipe for years, cooking it up for friends, family, and students in his backyard. DePerno explained that he used the same experimental approach he employs in his science classes to refine the flavor. The goal was to create a sauce that bridges the gap between the vinegar-based Eastern style and the tomato and vinegar blend of the Western style, aiming for something that satisfies fans of both.
