OUR BLEND COLESLAW
Source: Mike "Sarge" Davis, Whole Hog Cafe

2 1/2 lbs (1/8-inch) shredded coleslaw
3 Tbsp coleslaw spice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 to 3/4 cups coleslaw dressing

Toss ingredients together, adding enough dressing to desired consistency

NOTE: It's likely their coleslaw dressing is purchased in bulk, as is their coleslaw spice. They make their own BBQ rub and BBQ sauces and offer six at their restaurant, so it's likely that is what goes in their beans and cannot be duplicated precisely.
