Crisis Averted!

I'll say it again - The Sauce is Boss

The FedEx man delivered the much-needed supply of life-giving BBQ sauce; and just in time for Turkey Day. Thanks Mom!

Loss of Boss Sauce

As the cliché states, "all good things must come to an end" - and tonight saw the end of the bottle of unholy deliciousness as the last few succulent sweet drops of Captain Curt's Boss Sauce trickled out of the vessel that my brother sent me back over the summer and onto a couple of plump Foster Farms chicken breasts, sizzling on the Weber.

my grrrls rightfully laughed at me for taking a photo of an empty BBQ sauce bottle

The bombastic blend of (among others) water, high fructose corn syrup, tomato paste, cider vinegar, hickory smoke, MSG, sodium benzoate (preservative), proprietary herbs and spices is all but a memory, having been a central part of many summer BBQs. And since it's not widely-distributed outside of the Chicago area, I guess it's time to have my mom mail out a bottle. Because what is Thanksgiving dinner without healthy side of heaven?

The sauce was indeed boss.

EDIT - Crisis averted, mom emailed this morning, letting me know that two precious bottles are in the mail. Thanks ma!

BBQ Donut

Must be a German thing.

Because Man Cannot Live on Beer Alone

Beer isn't the only great liquid that flows from the Midwest.

Captain Curt's Famous Boss Sauce, straight outta south Cottage Grove Road in Chicago makes what is arguably the best BBQ sauce in the world.
