The business itself began in a meager building in their backyard and a recipe given to him by Sylvester's father. Production in those days consisted of one hog a week Legend has it that Sylvester won a competitor's barbecue sauce in a poker game and he combined it with his sauce which led to the present day Hursey's.
That sauce used on their chopped barbecue is a combination between Eastern North Carolina vinegar-base sauce and Lexington-style (sugar, tomato-added) dip.
Only the family knows the exact ingredients of their very secret sauce.
The barbecue is shipped to all 50 states and even foreign countries.
Some very satisfied customers are former presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr..

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
