About Us: Carolina Gold BBQ Recipe

Our Story

Welcome to Carolina Gold BBQ Recipe, your ultimate destination for all things barbecue and an authentic Southern culinary experience. Founded in 2017, our journey began with a passion for preserving the rich culinary heritage of North Carolina’s golden-crusted BBQ. We set out to create a digital space where barbecue enthusiasts could gather, share recipes, and celebrate this time-honored tradition.

The inspiration behind our website stemmed from the realization that while there are countless BBQ blogs and forums, there was a distinct lack of comprehensive, unbiased resources dedicated solely to North Carolina’s iconic gold BBQ style. We aimed to fill this gap by offering an extensive library of recipes, cooking techniques, and local BBQ culture insights.

Milestones and Achievements:

  • 2018: Launch of our interactive recipe database, featuring user-submitted recipes and expert-curated selections.
  • 2019: Collaboration with renowned pitmasters for exclusive interviews and masterclass videos, enhancing our educational content.
  • 2020: Expansion of our community forum, fostering lively discussions on BBQ trends and techniques.
  • 2022: Introduction of a personalized recipe recommendation system, tailored to individual preferences.
