The name “The Sauce” is just about as nondescript as you can get, but don’t be fooled – the sauce flavor itself is much more than just a generic store-bought sauce. OUTSIDE THE BOTTLE I love the oversized flask-shaped bottle with the EZ Cap bottle top – made somewhat famous by Grolsch beer and the […]
Birky Family Farms Country Gourmet BBQ Sauce (4/5)
May 2, 2015 By 2 Comments
After a long absence, here’s a sauce review for you all! Outside The Bottle Like anyone looking at the shelves of BBQ Sauce in the grocery store, the first thing people see is the label and the bottle. The bottle is the salesman when you aren’t there. As people scan the bottle, their brains are […]
Bar-B-Que Beast Original BBQ Sauce (4/5)
October 19, 2014 By 2 Comments
“Feed Your Beast!” says the hairy meatball like figure who is about to stuff his face with a burger or a chicken sandwich. It’s the logo for this fun sauce out of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. Outside the Bottle In general, the outside isn’t pulling me in. I love the sauce name, but the front isn’t shouting […]
Absolutely Perfect BBQ Sauce (4/5)
August 7, 2014 By 2 Comments
Wow! I don’t think it’s possible to make a bolder statement on the front of your BBQ sauce than calling your company Absolutely Perfect. I like the confidence, the swagger, the bravado of it, but you guys know me by now – I’m a bit skeptical. Outside The label for Championship Blue Ribbon St […]

July 21, 2014 By 1 Comment
Hoooooot! The fruity hot Huckleberry Habanero BBQ Sauce comes to us all the way from Florence Montana. It marks two firsts for me – the first sauce I’ve reviewed from Montana and the first sauce I’ve tried with huckleberries. The maker is Grandma Hoot Products hence the initials “GHP” on the front of the label […]

This sauce has some lofty goals – the owner Adam Rosenblatt wants to put Baltimore BBQ sauce on the map, and why not? Baltimore is a great city with a renovated waterfront area (Inner Harbor) and a diverse population. Outside The Bottle The label is nice and professional. It’s good for locals with a skyline […]
Smokehouse Woods Sweet Whispering Heat (4/5)
May 26, 2014 By 5 Comments
I really like the name Sweet Whispering Heat and how it immediately conjures up a sauce that starts sweet yet quietly sneaks up on you… Outside the Bottle Label quality is simple and high quality but has some unused real estate which could be useful to put a stronger image in front of the casual observer. […]
The Picky Pig Barbecue Sauce (4/5)
May 19, 2014 By 1 Comment
From Long Island City, New York (a part of Queens) comes this well executed sauce with a sweet approach and a tangy finish, one for those who prefer to rock a stronger vinegar flavor (like Open Pit and Stubbs) as opposed to the classic thick sweet BBQ sauce (such as KC Masterpiece and Bullseye BBQ […]
Sugar Britches BBQ Sauce and Glaze (4/5)
May 4, 2014 By 5 Comments
Sugar Britches was sent to me by the owners of Jenks Specialty Foods LLC, a California-based gourmet products producer with an appetite for making high quality, healthy, and tasty products. I immediately liked the name of the sauce upon first hearing it and couldn’t wait to open the bottle when it arrived. Outside the Bottle […]
