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 […]
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)
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 […]
Meat Mitch WHOMP BBQ Sauce (5/5)
Mitch Benjamin says this about his signature sauce: Meat Mitch ‘Whomp’ BBQ sauce was created to win BBQ competitions. It has all the elements the judges are looking for, a beautiful glaze finish, a sweet, rich, depth and character and finishes with a little kick that says “Hello Jim!” Well, sir – let’s see if […]
Trifecta BBQ Sauce Review (5/5)
Aroma: Oniony Garlicy Jalapeno… oh yeah. Flavor Uncooked: Fantastic Spicy Sweet, a a nice ketchup replacement with jalapeno undertones and garlic Flavor Cooked: Caramelizes nicely for BBQ chicken, jalapeno cheddar burgers (recommend Au Bon Pain jalapeno cheddar rolls) Ingredients: No strong negatives, but not gluten free for those with allergic sensitivities. Marketing/Label: Appearance is very […]
Rufus Teague Honey Sweet (5/5)
It’s got a combination of great ingredients, molasses-dark flavor, and soy/Worcestershire added for that extra savory umami dimension. Nice. A smooth, dark, molasses-based sauce with the same base as Rufus Teague’s Touch of Heat without as much A1-style tang making it a bit less complex – but still a very solid contender in the category. It’s still enough to be given my highest rating.
Guy Fieri Bourbon Brown Sugar Barbeque Sauce (5/5)
Five Thumbs up. 2 Stars. I mean…. The other way around. 2 Thumbs up and five stars for this puppy. Sorry for the mixup – I’ve been drinking too much of Guy Fieri’s Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce. Ok, I’m not really drunk on the Bourbon in this sauce, but this sauce is sweet, complex, […]
SuckleBusters Chipotle BBQ Sauce (4/5)
Like their other variants, I respect SuckleBusters for their approach towards producing BBQ sauces that are All Natural with No MSG and No Preservatives. It’s made in Texas – the state who’s residents like to go big or go home.
But… I thought to myself… why do they call it SuckleBusters? That’s odd sounding.
Nephew’s Peachy ‘Potle BBQ Sauce (4/5)
This is a solid sauce with a good texture and a very good taste to go with it – Nephew’s knows how to mix fruit with BBQ Sauce. The trick is (I think) to make it a subtle yet noticeable characteristic whereas a trace of the marketed fruit component remains in the forefront of the sauce flavor profile. The sauce is a great mix of tang, peach, chipotle, and traditional bbq sauce.
No Naked Meat BBQ Sauce (3/5)
The flavor is like that of a vinegary ketchup with lots of brown sugar. It is very sweet out of the bottle and the molasses within the brown sugar adds an almost caramel-like flavor to the base of the sauce. On the chicken this tasted a bit candy-like, and I found it to be a little too sweet for regular use, but it could be a fun variety to have around the house for that next big cookout!
