Country Bob is a great guy and a marketing machine - maybe it’s because Christ is his C.E.O. (it says that on the website and all of the marketing materials feature heavy usage of bible passages). However, if one looks past the biblical references, there’s a lot this company is doing right - distribution at [...]

Grumpy’s Black Label BBQ Sauce (5/5)
Excellent ingredients, label, taste, smell, consistency. A great balance of sweet, spice, and tang that won’t burn your mouth off. The addition of natural hot sauce, habanero powder, cayenne peppers, and oriental hot mustard heat up your mouth to a slow simmer, but don’t take it to the level of scoville novelty like some [...]

Blue Ribbon Carolina BBQ Sauce (4/5)
A great tasting BBQ sauce from a great BBQ joint in Massachusetts (yes that’s where I’m writing from). This hits the mark with a combination of great taste, smell, and packaging. I love the tallboy-style glass bottle for BBQ sauces.
I was a little surprised at how thin it was (not the best for backyard grillers) [...]

BBQ’n Fools Signature Teriyaki Pepper (5/5)
Best way to describe this is a nice gooey teriyaki/soy sauce with a little bit of heat. This asian-style sauce is far from the traditional KC-style BBQ sauce we’re all so used to seeing and trying. For example, this doesn’t have any tomatoes or vinegar. This Yaki sauce has served me well in kicking up [...]

Emeril’s Sweet Original BAM Barbecue Sauce (3/5)
Emeril is a huge brand that pulls in over $150 million a year in revenue across it’s media, restaurants, and products. This is a minor speck in the portfolio and (maybe because of that) it’s average at best. Another victim of the “large brand on auto-pilot” phenomena. The good qualities of the sauce include a [...]

Sticky Fingers Memphis Original Barbecue Sauce (2/5)
To sum up this sauce, it’s yet another mass produced “looks like it’s from a small mom and pop store variety sauce but actually from a fairly large corporation” variety. And that’s not always horrible. It’s when the sauce is loaded up with ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, MSG, and artificial flavors [...]

Millers Secret Sauce Original BBQ Sauce (4/5)
Paul Miller has been making this sauce for about a year and a half. Not long ago, he produced his first official batch and shipped me out a few samples. I suggest you try it out!
From Paul
“Well I started making my own sauce a few years ago and after many, many hours over the [...]

Best Barbecue Sauces for Women?
BBQ Sauce Reviews was mentioned in this week’s Womans World magazine. When I got the call from the writer, I thought the name kinda rang a bell, but I asked my wife if it was legit. She assured me it was… the magazine is right next to the checkout counter - the one with the [...]

Home Cooking Star “Get Your Sauce Bottled” Contest
If you are like me, and sometimes brew up your own BBQ sauce, I’m sure you’ve also thought “how can I get this put into a bottle?”
Unfortunately, the answer is not so simple. You have to get the ingredients, find a co-packer, find a licensed kitchen which must be inspected by the FDA. [...]

Big Bob Gibson Backyard Mustard Sauce (4/5)
Big Bob Gibson Backyard Mustard Sauce gets a 4 from me for a great smooth flavor and what I’d recommend for people looking for a widely available mustard-based BBQ sauce to try out. If you are a mustard BBQ sauce virgin, this could also be a nice starting point. It pours a bit thin compared [...]

Mad Dog Ultra Hot BBQ Sauce (4/5)
Mad Dog hits it right on virtually all notes especially with their mega Award-winning Original Sauce. But super intense heat to the point of not being able to enjoy the meal is not my idea of a good cookout or BBQ meal. That said, just because I don’t like the heat doesn’t mean others won’t [...]

Tassleberry Farm Strawberry BBQ Sauce (1/5)
Queue up track number 8 on the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour album (or just refresh your memory here)…
Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Grandville’s Gourmet BBQ Sauce - Original Spicy (3/5)
Your parents always told you to eat your veggies and the creator of this sauce must have listened to his/her parents. The best way to describe it is to call it a tomato-based BBQ sauce loaded up with vegetables. And although I gave it a mediocre score, I think that BBQ sauce freaks (like me) [...]
