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.
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.
Original Open Pit, with some brown sugar added to it is my favorite, but then, I don’t like smoke flavoring, and it has none. It’s tangy with a little peppery bite. Caramelizes nicely with the sugar in it.
