Restaurant changing versions of Confederate flag

It will wave earlier Confederate flag

COLUMBIA, S.C.(THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) - Outspoken barbecue baron Maurice Bessinger - known as much for his support of the Confederate flag as his food - is providing some variety for his customers, but this change has nothing to do with his famous mustard-based sauce.

At about half of his 12 restaurants, Bessinger has replaced the better-known Confederate battle flag with its red background, blue cross and white stars with the less recognized and perhaps less controversial first flag of the Confederacy: a banner with two red stripes, a white stripe and a blue square with a circle of white stars.
