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 – that is what turns me off. The flavor is overly sweet and the consistency is thin. This is not to say the franchised Sticky Finger locations (16 across the Southeast) are not fantastic. This sadly happens sometimes when a brand gets big fast and they start stamping the logo all over without regard for quality in each and every item.

Your assessment is right on. I bought a bottle of this stuff at the grocery store recently and had high expectations. I didn’t read the label until I got home. MSG? Artificial flavors? WTF? MSG is only added to poor quality food in order to TRY and make it taste better. Most of the ingredients
look to be okay but they must be using MSG to make up for a lack of quality of some sort. And why add carmel coloring? Sauce should look like whatever it does when the base ingredients are mixed together. Any artificial visual appeal is unnecessary. It’s not a bad sauce but I won’t be buying it again.

I was shopping for ingredients for slow cooking pulled-pork, when a store clerk recommended Sticky Fingers Memphis Original. It was the best pulled-pork I have ever eaten, thanks to Sticky Fingers. Everyone who tried it raved about it and wanted the recipe. I hope everyone who really enjoys barbecue will not be deterred by the above “so called” critics.
