Favorite Barbecue Sauces
Barbecue sauces, especially gourmet ones, are becoming extremely popular. There are now more than 1000 different varieties currently available. The majority of them are gourmet sauces made and marketed by very small companies.
A barbecue sauce is a prepared mix of ingredients consisting of herbs, spices, vegetables and liquids that is used to baste the meat to be cooked while the meat is cooking. Most specialty stores will carry only a few - 10 to 20 different barbecue sauces. A large grocery store may carry 25 to 50 varieties. A web site that has a very large variety for sale is:

Barbecue sauces are compared by barbecue buffs like fine wines. Just as the same grape taste will vary when used in one wine versus another, each barbecue sauce is created in a special way by its creator. The consumer barbecuer makes his own decision. There are many barbecue cook off contests held all across the US. Many of them will be associated with Fairs or Festivals. Many of the manufacturers will participate in these contests hoping for a "Best In Show" to use to promote their products. Barbecue sauces are also being packaged to be used as special gifts when needed. There are web sites where you can have a selection of barbecue sauces and rubs sent to your recipient in a gift pack. Many of the restaurants that we have recommended also sell their barbecue sauce and rub products via the internet. You can check them out by clicking on this link.
