A 12 Bottle Sampler of Benchmark Regional BBQ Sauces

October 20, 2016, 03:09 PM

To most Americans, barbecue sauce is red, sweet, and smoky and it comes from a shelf near the ketchup. To those who travel and would rather lunch in back of a rickety shack under a shade tree than under the golden arches, barbecue sauce comes in a rainbow of colors and flavors, and most are tied to the area of origin and its ethnic roots. Barbecue sauce is thick with American history and culture.

I have selected a 11 benchmark barbecue sauces and one rub, every one actually comes from the region, and I have asked sauce merchant Kevin Early to offer them as a 12 pack complete with info cards by Yours Truly. Makes a great gift! More info here https://amazingribs.com/recipes/BBQ_...uce_types.html

I can't believe Michigan isn't on this list, ha ha. It's great to know you've hand picked the actual regional sauces from the regions. Real as it gets.

So my wife got this for me as a gift and I used my first sauce last night. I made lamb and used the Moonlite Kentucky Lamb Dip. It was great. I mopped it on the lamb before cooking and then reduced some of it to pour over the lamb while serving. Delicious. I look forward to my culinary tour.

Thanks Jerod It will be difficult to navigate through the weight gain.

Actually my wife and I have talked about taking a roadie from Houston to Memphis to KC and back just to hit famous BBQ joints.
