Pascua’s Spicy BBQ Sauce

This intriguing little 9.7 oz bottle sporting the massive stone heads (moai) of Easter Island definitely stood out from the crowd. The word “pascua” means Easter and in Spanish, Easter Island would be Isla de Pascua. You would think after 6 years of Spanish I would have learned that… nope. The things you learn by writing about BBQ sauce…

Alisha’s Honey BBQ Sauce (4/5)

Initial impression: 3 Label looks a little on the cheap side.   I like when a sauce is named after a peson they put a picture of the person on it – and this picture can be stylized or plain or color or an icon sized depiction. Either one works and I think I like […]

Auntie Heather’s House of BBQ Homemade BBQ Sauce Kit (4/5)

You can make your own sauce with this fun BBQ sauce kit. Without having to break out the measuring spoons or buying ingredients at the store, this kit lets you get your hands dirty in the kitchen with a minimal amount of effort – just add 3 cups of ketchup and reduce over heat for 20 minutes. The end result is a very rich, sweet, subtly smoke-infused sauce with loads of onion chunks and just enough heat to add complexity.

The Secret Sauce “Sweet Love” BBQ Sauce (5/5)

A deep rich sweet sauce that is versatile for any kind of grilling, dipping, or BBQ’ing.  It has enough complexity to appeal to connoisseurs and is mild enough to make the kids happy.  All in all, this is a great sauce that goes equally well with pork, chicken, and beef products Smell/Aroma    5 There’s a […]

Whoop Ass Chipotle Barbecue Sauce (4/5)

Well, pardner, if this one doesn’t jump out at you, then you might as well be sleeping. Sometimes products like this are great and back up their pretentious presentation. The bottle is extremely over-styled – a tough, frilly-leather-jacket-wearing-cowboy who is double fisting two pistols shooting off people who don’t deserve to be buying BBQ sauce. Nice cowboy hat too, which I’ll probably give to the kids when the sauce is gone.

King James BBQ Sauce (4/5)

Final assessment: the King James is a better dipping sauce than marinade or glaze, but that’s all right with me. 4 stars for taste, 4 stars for texture. And unlike the other self appointed “King,” I look forward to seeing this James again.

Geronimo’s Tangy Barbeque Sauce (3/5)

Initial Impression: Cool label.  Obviously someone has put a lot of thought into it.  American Indian inspired and great causes listed on the label: National Kidney Foundation of Southern California and American Cancer Society.  This is obviously a sauce-maker with concern for his society both locally and globally. Aroma: 4 A pleasantly intoxicating blend on tomato, […]

McCane’s Southern Fixin’s Original Pit Sauce (4/5)

Stewart McCane calls his sauces the best thing you ever threw a lip over – which is certainly a bold statement.  But do his sauces have the boldness and flavor to back him up? Sure they do. Smell and Aroma 4 A somwhat traditional scent like tomato sauce mixed with apple vinegar – also some […]

Luna Mercato Blueberry Barbecue Sauce (3/5)

It’s been awhile since my review of Luna Mercato’s Strawberry Barbecue Sauce – more than enough time to let give my tastebuds a break from fruity BBQ sauce. In general, I’m just not a big fan of the category. While there are certainly stand-outs (the sauce formerly known as Carribean Calypso for example), there’s a lot of mileage in between the stars.

Big Nugg Company Southwest Chipotle Q Sauce (4/5)

Decent flavor from a competition barbecue team that wanted to bring “the exact sauces” they use in competition to you.  Like Blender’s this one provides a strong vinegar oomph but not quite as overpowering.  The three pepper blend (Cayenne, Chipotle, Red Chili) provides a great balance of flavor and heat – just enough to heat […]
