What's Your Favorite Commercial Brand BBQ Sauce

[SmokyOkie]

A quick phone call gave the following info.

Uncle Bud was the formulator of the original Head Country sauce. His name was Donavon Fred Head.

While he sold sauce around the local feed stores, etc, It was Danny that moved to Ponca from Shidler in 1980 and brought the company into its own.

Fred/Ed, easy jump to make.

Doesn't explain the brand. I guess that could be a handle and not a T. Quick video from Head Country:



Interesting topic on Head Country though

A combination of Gates Spicy and Rosedale sauces are an easy rib mop.

KC Masterpiece isnt to bad neither is Jackstack.

When I was in Iraq I had a box full of BBQ sauce. When I had the opprotunity to eat at the chow hall I'd grab a random bottle and go. Over there a little flavor went a long way.

I've been partial to Bulls-Eye( Texas style) of late.

I like Head Country and Blues Hog too, KC Masterpiece has its place as well, but I think that Stink Eye has become the declared favorite around the Okie Ranch.

Right now it can be hard to get, but I am working on changing that.

What is your favorite?

We like Head Country, and have really liked Stink Eye. If you want Stink Eye, order it through US BBQ supply. Stink Eye has a website as well, but they took my money and "forgot" to send the product. I guess Tim could teach those boys a little something about "customer service".

Get you some Butcher's BBQ sauce from Tim. You won't be disappointed!

Danny Head and the guy that runs the company (Paul Schatte) are good friends of mine.

With a wild imaginary flavor of barbecue sauce hidden in my mouth, I started buying individual commercial sauces as I found them and discovered a high percentage of them have a lot of high fructose corn syrup as their main ingredient. For us this is a big turn off...I have seen so many great sauces created from raw ingredients and cooked to make a flavorful bodied taste without some dangerous oddities added to it. Since I'm gonna over eat it anyway, it might as well be better for me than corn sugar syrup!
