HUMPHREY'S BBQ SAUCE

My grandfather Mr. Clyde Humphrey Senior was born in Carroll County, Tennessee in 1900. He and his family were farmers and like most during the time learned to make what they needed from the land. They worked and saved to buy a general merchandise and grocery store and run that for several years. While the women did the indoor cooking, the men were the outdoor cookers, some better than others and some excelled at it like my grandpa Clyde who became famous for his tender pork and tasty sauces. Whenever there was a family get together or community celebration he was the one they all called upon to "cook the hog". After a while he got to thinking that maybe he should open a restaurant and use his skills as a cook and businessman. He soon bought out a local restaurant right after the Great Depression in the early 1930's called the Cat and Fiddle and added a barbeque pit in the back.
