In 1989, Scott's Famous Barbecue Sauce was awarded second place in a national competition among thirty-one vinegar-based barbecue sauces sponsored by Food and Wine magazine. Fewer than one-fourth of all the barbecue sauces on the market today are of the vinegar-based variety, so, Scott's, in its award winning eminence, stands as a lonely but sturdy reminder of eastern North Carolina's vinegar-flavored, barbecue heritage.

Who knows: if this sauce had been available in the nineteenth century, maybe no one would have tried adding tomatoes to barbecue sauce.

While handing out well-deserved praise , we shouldn't forget that this stuff can blister your skin if you work around it too long without wearing rubber gloves.

One night in 1957, someone saw a man breaking into Scott's restaurant and called the police. When the officers arrived and searched the premises, they found a broken window-but no burglar. As they were preparing to leave, they heard a sound from the storeroom, and when they investigated, the found the would-be thief hiding in a fifty-five gallon drum half full of Scott's sauce. His rapidly growing discomfort had caused him to stir inside the barrel, which led to his discovery. The police lifted the man out of the drum and carted him off to jail, where he spent the night in a cell without the benefit of the shower to wash the sauce from his skin and clothing. The next morning, Martel Scott showed up at the police station, and when he realized that the man had spent the night marinating in Scott's Famous Barbecue Sauce, he declined to press charges, saying the unfortunate intruder had already suffered enough.
