BBQ Sauce Syndicate

2006-11-26T16:42:00.000-08:00

My Family and I went to Big Bubba's BBQ Restaurant at the Mohegan Sun Casino
in Uncasville Connecticut. We went to Casino to see the Trans-Siberian
Orchestra. If you
have never seen them you must see them. It is a great way to
start the
Christmas Season.
We went before the show. We were seated and serve promptly. We were seated at 1:50 p.m. and our food arrived within 10 minutes in perfect order.
I had the Pulled Pork sanwich served with fries, coleslaw and potatoe salad. Everything was great. Nice tender meat and good sauce. I tried 2 of the three sauces with my fries (I never use catsup). The Sauces were all right not great.
I liked the Original Sauce more than the Hickory. The Hickory was too smokey. And it wasn't a natural tasting smoke flavor, more like a chemical based smoke
flavor. The coleslaw was very good as was the potatoe salad. I feel that great side dishes are as important as the main dishes to make it a good BBQ. We also had the Best Dang Corn Bread I have had in a long time.
My son had a fried Chicken Sandwich. I was a very tastey chicken. It must have been homemade batter. And I would guess that they pan fry the chicken.
Worth the trip if you are going to the Casino anyway.
Very EXPENSIVE but what I should expect to pay at a
casino.

Maurice's Carolina Gold Mustard BBQ

2006-10-12T16:28:00.000-07:00

Quite possibly the best mustard based sauce I have ever tasted. Putting politics aside on this one (long story) it is a traditional Southern Carolina BBQ Sauce, Tasty, sweet and TANGY. Out of this world flavor, if you like mustard BBQ. On one trip down south we stopped by and had some of Maurice's famous bbq
and hospitality. I wouldn't stop again as I have already tried it but I do recommend that you stop. If not for the BBQ at least get a jug os sauce. They have it available in 18 ounce, 32 ounce, half gallon and 1 gallon.
The sauces also come in hickory, honey and spicy. Now if you like it hot then the spicy ain't nothing more then zippy. I recommend the original and honey. Get them by the half gallon at least or a case of the small bottles.

J.T. PAPPY'S HICKORY HEAVEN

2006-10-11T13:42:00.000-07:00

Please note the word "HEAVEN". Anyone can put that on their label but this one deserves it!
If you like the perfect smokiness in your BBQ Sauce look no This hickory smoke is infused in an all-natural steam extraction process, not that liquid smoke junk that most sauce makers use.. J.T. has done it again and with the help of mother nature of course.
"While fixin' his favorite sauce, Pappy got caught in the rain and a bolt of lightnin' struck down his favorite hickory tree, scattering smokin' hickory chips in his sauce. Wee-doggie!"
This is one of the nicest smoothest smoke flavored BBQ sauces that have passed my lips and trust me there has been allot of sauce passing my lips. When my family goes on vacation we drive so that I can pull of anytime I see the words BBQ on the interstate. I have the most wonderful family because the trip up and down the east cost can take along time when I have to pull over so often.

Toad Sweat Lemon Vanillia Desert Hot Sauce

2006-10-10T06:08:00.000-07:00

So why is there a hot sauce here? I will tell you why. It makes the best dang coleslaw you have ever tasted. It was the first commercially made desert hot sauce ever. It was created to be used on ice cream and cheese cake. When using it on ice cream I prefer using the Cranberry Orange flavored Toadsweat.

Try this Recipe for Iron Slaw:

1/2 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
1 bottle (5 ounces) Lemon Vanilla Toad Sweat
1 bag pre-cut slaw mix
salt and black pepper to taste
Blend the mayonnaise and Toad Sweat together well. Stir into the slaw mixture and add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Peppadew Peppers

2006-10-08T11:29:00.000-07:00

These have been around for a few years now, but you still don't hear much about them. I don't know why they are so awesome. My first experience with these little gems is when a sales rep had sent me a few samples and I have been in love with them since.

Words can't describe them they must be experienced.These sweat peppers are great on sandwiches or straight out of the jar.

Try this recipe for Grilled Peppadew Quesadilla

You will need:

10 - 6 inch Flour Tortilla's

1 Cup Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1 Cup Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese

1 Cup Diced Grilled Chicken Marinated in D.L. Jardines Fajita Marinade.

1/2 cup Chopped Peppadew Peppers (hot or mild)Olive Oil

Salsa and Sour Cream for dipping

Heat up your grill to medium hot. Blend the two cheeses together. Using a pastry brush, brush olive oil on one side of the tortilla and place on grill. Put a layer of the cheese down on the tortilla and sprinkle some chicken and Peppadew Peppers on top of the cheese. Brush oil on another tortilla and place that tortilla (oil side up). Grill for about three minutes or until golden brown then flip grill until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Slice into quarters and serve hot off the grill.

Big Rick's Original BBQ Sauce

2006-10-07T07:19:00.000-07:00

Rick Doty has a motto, "Big guys always have the best eats" and judging by his original BBQ sauce he at least does.

The sauce is a tomato based sauce that is thick, rich and delicious. I can't figure out what it is about his sauce that makes so good. It's just one of those things that makes you stop eating to say, damn that's good.

We have used it on Ribs of course, chicken and pork chops and mashed potatoes. Haven't seen anything it doesn't go with yet. I suppose there is. I will let you know it I do.

I give Big Rick's original my highest recommendation. It is available through more than 150 specialties stores throughout the USA. Big Rick's Original recipe is from the old days!

This is a Top Shelf product.

Tasting notes:

Dark, Thick, Rich, and Sweet.

The Pink Pig by Traeger

2006-10-06T02:18:00.000-07:00

Look no further, before you is the perfect grill. Actually any grill made by Traeger is the perfect grill. I just so happen to use (on a very regular basis) this grill. This is the ultimate in set it and well, lets not forget it. This grill to cooks to perfection every and I mean EVERY time.

This little critter uses wood pellets as its fuel source. It has s built in thermostat so that you can set your cooking temp. How many other companies have an on off switch to start and turn off the grill?

You can use this grill to make my personal favorite, RIBS !!! and of course chicken, stake and BBQ Sauce. Yes that's right make your own BBQ sauce and use this grill to add the NATURAL SMOKE FLAVOR. The lowest setting on the grill is "SMOKE" I usually use 225 to "cook" the ribs for 2-2.5 hrs and then wrap them in tin foil for another hour or two, or put the tin foil wrapped ribs in the oven (in your house) at the lowest setting (170 for me) for the same amount of time.

And of course I use the Bone Suckin Rib Rub every time. I offer the Bone Suckin Sauce on the side for those who prefer their ribs wet.

Check out their website at Traeger Wood Pellet Grills.

Bone Suckin Sauce

2006-10-05T10:53:00.000-07:00

I figured I might as well start out with one of my favorite bbq sauces, Bone Suckin Sauce. I have never met anyone who doesn't like it if not LOVE it. It is a Western North Carolina Sauce which means lots of vineager. It is both sweet and tangy. I personally use it at least once a week if not more. It is the offical BBQ sauce for all our families cookouts and Barbecues. Makes one of the finest dips for your chip too!

Items also worth mentioning:

Also available in thick, hot, thick and hot

Tasting notes:

High viscosity, Sweet and Tangy, light smoke flavor, all natural, Gluten free and NO MSG
