Student lunches got a touch sweeter today with the debut of Carter Hull's BBQ Sauce to accompany barbecue items in all Austin ISD middle schools and high schools.
The brown sugar-based sauce was created by Murchison Middle School student Carter Hull, who said he prefers sweet to heat in his barbecue sauces.
Carter said the recipe—which also includes tomato sauce and paste—has evolved since he first created it.
"It's come a long way, and right now it's in a really good spot," he said. "I'm really proud of it."
