Sauce

What company makes the best B.B.Q. sauce, and where can you get it? I collect, and am looking for new and better ones, that I don't now have. I have well over one hundred now, but still looking for more.

"Best" is only in the taste of the beholder. You might not like the one I consider "the best" be it store bough, restaurant based or my own private recipe.

As others have said, it's all very subjective. From this site I learned about Head Country. Their "hot flavor" is fantastic. Fortunately I can get this at my local supermarket. As far as nationwide, Sweet Baby Rays is my favorite.

On another note, I've realized I use BBQ for nothing other than dipping sauce. To me, dry rub is the only way to do BBQ.

How 'bout Show-Me--It's real sweet, too sweet really, until you char it a little around the edges, then I love it. It's available from Harry Berrier, 1250 Cedar Grove Blvd. So., Columbia, MO 65201.
Maurice's--A yellow sauce from one of the Carolinas, Hickory variety is my fave. 1-800-Maurices or Maurices.com.
Famous Dave's--Rich & Sassy is my favorite variety, it's a small, but good chain in Minnesota and surrounding states. The label says distributed by Famous Products, Inc., 952-746-8800. Or try famousbbq.com.
Roadhouse--(See other recent thread on Roadfood about their roadtrips), I like their hotter version. It's a little bit chunky, has a couple unusual ingredients, like pineapple and raisins. I got mine on mohotta.com and they list several other websites on that thread, and it also sounds like it is in stores all around upper midwest.

I love Cattlemen's Classic.

Mrs. QFan and I are very partial to Stubbs--both the original and spicy. In fact we're doing ribs today and we mix the Stubbs with just a little Heinz 57 and some Panola mild pepper sauce. Hope you and yours have some great Que over the holiday!!

It's funny that you posted this as I felt that I could start a thread titled "Too Much Sauce" It struck me this holiday weekend that I have too many different brands to choose from. There are about four already opened and another three or so waiting in the cabinet. Whats more, is that I have ingrediants to make my own versions that don't appear on the shelves. One is a Cola BBQ and the other is my Korean short rib sauce.
But it gets worse as I have Asian flavors as a Thai marinade/sauce, Chinese rib sauce, Duck sauce and Mae Ploy sweet chili garlic sauce.

I have about five different steak sauces and two types of ketchup. One being the good ol' American brand and another being an Indonesian brand called Sambal Manis Pedas. It is a hot sweet and spicy sauce that is great on fries...

I am not so bad about mustard as I have about four different brands and also dried mustard which I add water to when I have eggrolls...
