North America - United States of America - Charlotte

Barbecue is North Carolina's official food, though it's been internationalized all over the world. Barbecue is usually made with grilled pork. A sauce such as vinegar or ketchup is often used to spice the meat, but which one depends on the area. One of Charlotte's most popular events is the Barbecue Festival, which gathers over 100 teams to compete for the best barbecua and get quite a monetary price!
