It May Be Called Grumpy’s, But It’s Not
Happy Memorial Day Weekend
Many of you may be grilling and barbecuing this weekend, so I wanted to tell you about an award-winning barbecue sauce called Grumpy’s. I’m not sure if he was trying to send a message, but as you can see by the label, the company that makes it is having a lot of fun.
This stuff is good. It won 1st Place at the 2007 Scovie Awards and was a 2nd place winner at America’s Zesty Best Food Contest.
What I like about it are the name and the packaging. I know many people I want to send a bottle to, including my Grumpy older brother and my buddy Barbecue Bob.
It comes in four different “heats,” including Not So Bold, Bold XX, Goodnight Irene, and Black Label. I have only tried Not So Bold and Bold XX, which are both excellent.
You can read more about them on their website. I’m starting to see it sold at more and more supermarkets, so it must be getting more popular and appealing to a larger audience.
