GMG (aka Green Mountain Grills) makes a few nice looking pellet grills and happens to also have a line of sauces and rubs. Personally, I’m not against appliance/hardware providers getting into the sauce business, but based on the relatively uncommon occurrence, I usually tread carefully when I see food products from folks like Charbroil or […]
Okie Steak House Barbecue Sauce (4/5)
May 14, 2012 By 2 Comments
When I first heard of and saw this bottle of BBQ Sauce from Okie’s Steakhouse, I was a bit skeptical. I’ve had other BBQ Sauces from companies known for “steak sauce” and I really didn’t care much for it. So my expectations were very low. But when I tried this sauce, and then cooked with […]
Grillside Downtown Heat BBQ Sauce (4/5)
May 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Like the Suburban Sweet and Hometown Heat varieties, the Downtown Heat barbecue sauce from Grill Side is packaged professionally with a great label and bottle. Like the sweet variety, the sauce had a lot going on – chili powder for a real pepper taste, molasses for a dark rich sweetness, and a little extra bite […]
Grillside Suburban Sweet BBQ Sauce (4/5)

Packaged professionally with a great label and a great (whiskey flask-like) shape, this one would pop out from just about any selection of BBQ sauces on the shelf. The logo itself reminds me of the Olympic torch – and what better a symbol to choose to represent global awesome-ness or shall I say SauceSomeNess. The […]
Stubbs Signature BBQ Sauce (4/5)
April 9, 2012 By 15 Comments
It tastes like a hybrid between a KC style BBQ sauce and a vinegar based sauce. It’s got great ingredients, a touch of heat, and a tangy flavor that people love. It’s a thin all-natural blend that provides a lot of flavor. And as long as you are expecting the tangier-than-usual-bbq-sauce flavor of Stubbs, you’ll […]

March 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
“It wasn’t easy getting a Rabbi to bless a pig!,” says San Diego-based Hog Heaven founder, Ira Pupko. He’s referring to the Kosher certification (denoted by a hechsher on the label) that is achieved through a fairly rigorous inspection process. Ira says that the Kosher certification “was important to us, because it’s synonymous with quality.” […]

This is part 2 of the Hog Heaven batch I received last week in pre-bottled stage. The line-up also includes Smokehouse, Apricot Jalapeno, and Apple Chipotle. Aroma It’s got a nice aroma – like the Smokehouse original it smells like a classic, tomato-based BBQ sauce with strong notes of onion and smoke – this one […]
Carolina Sunshine Tangy: Western North Carolina Bar-B-Que Sauce (4/5)
March 12, 2012 By 3 Comments
Here’s an excerpt of the story from Carolina Sunshine’s website: … that “Secret Sauce”. That’s what we’ve got here. It has started fights, though thankfully I truly don’t recall anyone ever being killed. Oh, there have been spies, and marriage proposals, offers of luxury items and favors, but I am proud to say they all […]
Patterson’s Old Fashioned Mopping Sauce (4/5)
March 9, 2012 By 13 Comments
I love when I get a sauce that combines a great, unique flavor with a powerful and sincere story. To the right of the centered logo and picture you can find this story: David Patterson left his Georgia family farm in 1943 when he was drafted into the Army. Before Christmas the following year, he […]
Review: Lil Hawks BBQ Sauce (4/5)
February 3, 2012 By 2 Comments
This is a nicely executed thin yet sweet sauce from Georgia. The bottle appearance is good and simple. It’s a guy holding a man-sized fork that is impaling a massive slab of ribs. It’s a very small batch sauce as evidenced by the lack of nutritional information a UPC symbol and an address – but […]
