Blenders has a great story and a great, all-natural ingredients list as I’ve described on my review for their original blend. The chipotle flavor is a nice addition to the deep rich tomato/vinegar and spice blend of the original. This super thick sauce flows like lava from the bottle to your basting bowl and onto the meat, with no problem staying put once it’s there. Like the original, the strong, sour notes of vinegar were still a bit much for these tastebuds.
Miller’s Spicy Bar-B-Q Sauce (5/5)

Miller’s brings to market a traditional KC-style BBQ sauce with a smooth balance of heat and sweet. I liked the strong hickory via liquid smoke and the deep rich flavors provided by the molasses and brown sugar.
Hecky’s Hot Barbecue Sauce (4/5)
July 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This sauce is a little brother to Hecky’s Original, which I gave five stars back in May. And it does a couple things I really liked but didn’t impress me as much as their original sauce. The sauce was certainly hotter than the original (expected), but the flavor profile also changed quite a bit. Don’t […]

Sauces that Remind Me of Spices I Like (or Vice Versa)

Timberfolks The nutmeg in here reminds of Harpoon Winter Warmer Lager Captain Curts The bay leaves remind me of Old Bay (any Baltimore crab eaters out there?) Willingham’s Cajun Hot BBQ Sauce Reminds me of McCormicks Cajun spice (or Penzey’s cajun spice) Outta the Park BBQ Sauce Strong notes of ginger!
Blenders Original Barbeque Sauce (3/5)
July 4, 2010 By 14 Comments
Who knew crime and punishment, Hollywood and Kansas City, and people with names like Aunt Pauline and Nana Lena could be combined in one story about BBQ sauce? Well, it’s all true. It could be the most interesting Behind-The-Sauce story I’ve read so far. The flavor, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be […]

Did you ever hear a song so beautiful it made you cry? Did you ever see a picture that caused you to stare in awe, then do a double-take, then stare again for another 5 minutes? Did you ever see a video clip or scene from a movie so powerful, that it gave you goosebumps?
Captain Curts Famous Boss Sauce – Hickory (4/5)
June 21, 2010 By 1 Comment
Hmm. Not too much variation from the mild sauce or hot version. Maybe it is a little bit bolder… could be extra salt and spices… I’m not sure. It’s still a great sauce, very unique with a strong Old Bay flavor (via ground bay leaves I assume). For more details on Captain Curt and for […]
Outta The Park BBQ Sauce (5/5)
June 13, 2010 By 5 Comments
It’s Real. It’s Good. It’s Gone! says creator Scott Granai on the bottle of his Outta The Park sauce. And I’d have to agree. The magic ingredient here is ginger – giving what could be a fairly average sauce a unique Asian flair that reminds of a flavor I may have had once in a […]
Jack Daniel’s Original No.7 Recipe Barbecue Sauce (3/5)
June 10, 2010 By 1 Comment
This is sauce is OK, but it’s really more of an extension of a huge brand versus a finely-tuned BBQ sauce for barbecue and grilling fanatics like you and me. They put lots of funky stuff in the sauce itself from high fructose corn syrup to modified corn starch to preservatives and artificial flavoring. They […]
