From Humble Beginnings to BBQ Sauce Royalty

Introduction

We’re a dynamic husband-and-wife duo crafting the most lip-smacking BBQ sauces you’ll ever devour! Our mouthwatering creations aren’t just for backyard grilling; competition cooks across the US can’t get enough of them! We take great pride in whipping up tasty sauces that’ll have your meats singing with flavor! However, we are more than just a BBQ Sauce, our sauces are highly versatile and can be used for some much more than BBQ. They are truly an Everything sauce, it even says so right on our lables.

The Birth of a Brand

In 2010 and the years that followed, we participated in numerous cooking competitions, consistently placing in the top five but never quite securing the grand champion title. To distinguish ourselves, we began creating our own sauces. The sweet and spicy flavor profile we developed for our meats immediately captivated the judges and tantalized their taste buds. Our sauces played a crucial role in propelling our dishes into the winner's circle, and we began achieving Grand Champion and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place accolades.

In 2013, we relocated to Ransom Canyon Lake, where there was little to do, and, as fate would have it, we “forgot” to purchase a television haha! It was during this time that our third child was born. After taking a break from cooking competitions to focus on raising our family, we honed our skills in backyard pit mastery and experimented with new sauce flavors.

In 2022, following significant encouragement from family and friends, we decided to venture into selling our exceptional sauces at local markets. The response was overwhelming. We found ourselves cooking and bottling sauces at home, dedicating 40 hours a week in addition to our regular 40-hour work week to fulfill the growing demand. After some deliberation, we settled on the name "Inspector’s Choice." As an inspector for the City of Lubbock, my role requires me to ensure that others maintain high standards and adhere to codes. This commitment to quality aligns perfectly with our expectations for our sauces, which are crafted to be both perfectly balanced and high quality, offering a sweet front note complemented by a robust kick of heat on the backend.

Over the next two years, we sold our products at farmers markets, vendor events, online, and directly from our home. We received offers from stores, attracted interest from competitive cooks, and garnered requests from our loyal customers for more. In January 2024, we took the significant step of having our sauces co-packed for retail distribution. As of that date, our sauces can be found on the shelves of more than 50 locations across the United States. We are continually seeking new opportunities for our products, so please feel free to reach out via email, call, or text if you know of a location that would benefit from carrying something truly exceptional on their shelves.
