As an amateur ‘cuer and displaced Tarheel languishing in Charleston, I can state the map is roughly accurate. I dearly love and miss the whole hog eastern NC vinegar style, and the mustard based is only fit for chicken or roadkill. I generally appreciate most non-vinegar sauces but the mustard glop, often leaning towards sweet, is truly foul stuff.
As a note, these lines are not absolute demarkations. There are transitional areas, much like the accurate NC map posted earlier. In Charleston what would pass as decent bbq in NC can be found. You just have to be selective, very selective.
Also of interest is the correlation between whole hog/shoulders and eastern/western. The east generally does whole hog before slicing and chopping while the west does primarily pork shoulders (uncured picnic hams) only.

You can also get mustard-based BBQ in south Georgia.

The best place to do so IMO is Blue’s BBQ off Exit 3 on I-95 (near the FL border).

Pfft! Carolinians and you chopped pork. Barbecue is pulled from the bone not cut!

Well, you’re better than Texans who actually think beef is barbecue.

My husband and I were moving to South Carolina from Boston, and were excited about two foods: sweet tea, and barbecue. We liked both, and the South was famous for them.

After arriving in Columbia we realized we do NOT particularly like the mustard sauce that is the staple of the Midlands barbecue!!! Whoops.

“the German names of the principal purveyors of mustard-based sauces (…) it does seem that most are descended from the great 18th century wave of German immigrants to the Southern uplands.”
Just wondering if 18th century is actually correct here, or it should be 19th?
