Looks good. Needs a bit more heat, IMHO.

Definitely more heat required... At least for my taste.

Wouldn't feed that crap to my dog.

“Sweet Baby Ray’s” (original)
and
“Stubb’s” (original)
Mix them half and half.

Stubbs Spicy is my go to for everything but foul, for which I use Stubbs Mesquite.

I continue to try new BBQ sauces occasionally and nothing ever surpasses Stubbs. I do not have maintream taste. I have a week pallet so I like strong sauces. I want to be overpower. I don’t like sweet BBQ sauces. They must be spicy.

I have found a small handful of alternatives to Stubbs that I buy every rare once in a while as a change up, but I ALWAYS come back to Stubbs.

When someone pulls out a bottle of KC Masterpiece, I want to puke. Nothing more dull than KC Masterpiece.

The best BBQ sauce I ever had was at a restaurant. I asked if he made his own, and he said he used Sweet Baby Rays for a base but added his own special ingredients. The only thing I have ever tasted that beat Stubbs hands down. Then he went bankrupt and I could no longer buy it from him.

Everyone has different taste in BBQ sauce, even differing ideas as to what can be called BBQ sauce. Picking a best one seems somewhat masturbatory to me.

My point was, I need to try this new prize winning BBQ sauce when he markets it, but I am sure it will appeal to mainstream buyers but not to me.

Held at Stubbs BBQ.

Must be a Ninth Circus judge. They make a lot of stupid rulings.

Congratulations Ray.

But these cook offs are a scam. Good cooks but the game is get as many local winners as possible by inventing more and more categories.

You get to go to the regionals.. maybe state.. maybe the national. Big money for the organizers, the cooks are pawns.

Reminds me of the ‘70s and restaurants with Boston Phoenix best of... awards on their walls. The Boston Phoenix must have been very glad for the free advertising.

I'm not going to try your BBQ sauce.

A while back I tried Franklin Texas BBQ Sauce and really liked it. There are two other versions (Espresso and Pork) that I’ve yet to try, but they look interesting.
