A while back someone on CP had recommended Cowtown's Night of the Living Bar-B-Q Sauce. I wish I remembered who had said it because I'd send you a bottle of bourbon. It was suggested as the best bottled BBQ sauce and I agree. I usually make my own sauces, but this really was fantastic.
I had been getting it on amazon, but they want $16 for 2 bottles and I found it on here, https://www.thekansascitybbqstore.com, for half the price. (And they have free shipping until midnight tonight.) Before I pull the trigger on an order, is there anything else on there that you'd recommend trying? I could use some suggestions for stocking stuffers or general gifts. :-) [Reply]

My favorite Rosedale is in my blood and im from the Northland. Its the perfect dipping sauce for those crinkle fries. That hot spicy is damn good also but the original I could drink as my beverage:-) [Reply]
Some might scoff because it's stocked in major markets, and their main product is salsa, but Mrs. Renfro's has a darn good Chipotle and Ghost Pepper BBQ.
The Ghost Pepper is darned hot, particularly for a BBQ sauce, but it really livens up beans. I also use it in place of hot sauce or salsa on a burrito. The sweet and smoky really work.
Best selling point aside from the sweet, the smoky and the heat, is it's all 'real' ingredients, peppers, tomatoes, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire, etc. Not corn syrup shit.

Didnt like that ghost pepper q sauce but I swear by their green salsa. [Reply]
My Tiger Sauce had a 'best by' date of 10/29/19. That's fairly poor form, is it not?
I've reached out to them to see if they will rectify the situation but we shall see. Shipping the thing back to them would cost half as much as the bottle (and shipping me a new one would eat up any margin they've had on my purchase).
We'll see what happens. I'm not gonna be an assbag about it but I'll give them a chance to step up. [Reply]

Maulls owns St. Louis suburbs.
I've never used it, but it's ubiquitous in supermarkets.
Every weekend, suburbadad lights up the gas grill and layers it with St. Louis cut pork ribs slathered in Maull's. You can smell it down every alleyway for miles. [Reply]

Yay, that's unacceptable. Good on ya for checking dates, I doubt many do, especially when they think they're getting a deal. On surface, it sounds like a dump old product strategy.
For clarity, who did you reach out to, KC BBQ Store? If so, I think an additional note to the root source is warranted, at the minimum, let them know they have a retailer selling their goods past date, which shines black on them. [Reply]

Yeah, reached out to the store.
Like I said, could be just a simple oversight. It happens - we all screw up. I'll give them a chance to make good. Don't need to go blowing up their spot when I can't imagine that 'barbecue distributor' is the easiest racket to make a go of it in. A guy I went to HS with had a similar but smaller shop in the northland that he had to close about 10 years ago because he had some medical bills and the margins just weren't enough to keep it up while he took care of those.
