BTS means Better than Sex sauce

The original bigbonton barbecue tours of the South started on a lark, became a bit of a vice, morphed into a hobby, then here it is 2009 and this photo blog has a life of its own.

You gotta eat, right? So while in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia why not dine on what the National Barbecue News calls the “Best of the Best” at Savannah’s Wiley’s Championship BBQ restaurant and catering. Their subtle nuances include their BTS “Better Than Sex” sauce, which a layman may describe as “tangy” but the creators call “tingly”. And oh how it does tingle on the palette. It’s not hot, it’s just tingly…

We dined with a vegetarian, yes, a vegetarian in a BBQ joint, (people will follow me anywhere) and she loved it all. Well, I mean she loved the potato salad, cole slaw, (my benchmarks for comparison) and bread pudding. The texture of the bread pudding was the opposite of tingly, whatever that word is.

This is a place that you don’t want to bring your mother to. Only because you will be arrested for abuse, because this is “smack your momma” cuisine. This is life changing cuisine. You’re going to walk away asking yourself “why have I eaten anywhere else?” “Why didn’t my mother feed me this?” “Did my mother not love me?”

My first reveal is Wiley’s BBQ. Mr. Wiley is no secret to the BBQ world. He has won so many awards for his food it is down right embarrassing. This little gem is located in a strip center, so don’t miss it. So many treats so little time. I recommend Roman style eating here…that is gorge and purge. I know that is pretty gross, but take a few a bites and you will understand. This is serious throwdown, so don’t even play. Brisket, Mac & Cheese, pulled pork, homemade sauces, banana pudding**** (my personal favorite, made me miss my grandmaw), bourbon breadpudding, sweet tea and sooooo much more.
