EXTRAS

Stay Saucy.
  • ORIGINAL BBQ

    Chef Carter's Original BBQ sauce is a Kansas City-style sauce that's bold, thick, tangy, and a little sweet. Made with a complex blend of more than 22 artisanal ingredients, it's the classic choice for any of our smoked meats

  • TANGY

    Our tart take on the Carolina standard. Chef Carter combines cider vinegar and pineapple juice with a hint of jalapeño, and rounds it out with the sweetness of tomato. This light-bodied sauce is a great choice for pork, and is a go-to for those that want to cut through the fat and add some spice.

  • GOLD

    Mustard based sauce with a black pepper and ginger bite. An excellent choice to accentuate the smokiness of pork, and a perfect match to our locally ­produced smoked 'nduja sausage.

  • JERK

    A Caribbean inspired sauce with a little kick. Soy-based with pineapple, scallions, thyme, allspice, and a kick from habanero. Great with chicken or rib tips!

    Our Louisiana-style hot sauce captures everything you love about the classics, but better. Bold vinegar tang and robust garlic serve up the familiar taste you know and love, with a more complex flavor profile and elevated heat level thanks to the addition of Trinidad scorpion peppers. It's a perfect choice for those ready to explore beyond the basics. Ideal for adding a touch of nostalgia with a modern twist to your meal. Made in collaboration with Soothsayer Hot Sauce

    $12.00
  • SNEAKY HEAT- HOT SAUCE

    This velvety sauce blends the rich, earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes with the vibrant, citrusy heat of habanero peppers. We choose sweet potatoes for this recipe due to their deep roots in southern cuisine that can be traced all the way back to West Africa. Every drizzle of this sauce delivers a balance of spice and flavor, making it a versatile addition to any dish, and a crowd-pleaser for spice enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Made in collaboration with Soothsayer.

    $12.00
  • HOT TOMATO- HOT SAUCE

    This feisty sauce combines the tart brightness of green tomatoes with the bold heat of jalapeño and serrano peppers. Green tomatoes became a staple in Southern cooking as a way to use unripe crops at the end of the growing season. In our sauce, we've infused the green tomato base with fresh herbs - its tangy, earthy profile pairs beautifully with a variety of foods such as smoked meats, fried foods, and more. Made in collaboration with Soothsayer Hot Sauce
