I agree.

The majority of restaurants in the country use Cattleman's brand either straight out the bottle or doctored in one way or another. Its a good mix of sweet and heat that folks find appealing. I use it when entertaining guests as it has broad appeal.

little to no sauce....dry rub - memphis style

This is mine, measurements are aprox.

2 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. Worcestershire
2 c. catsup
dash of liquid smoke
a bit of fresh minced sweet onions

Simmer until onions are soft

Some times I add a little yellow mustard & cajun seasoning depending on my mood.

Stubbs is one of the few off the shelf sauces I like. Most are entirely too sweet for my tastes: Kraft, K.C. Masterpiece, Sweet Baby Rays (yes, I know…it has sweet in the name) are all too sweet for me. Stubbs I can live with.

I’ve been experimenting with tomato based sauce recipes at home, in an effort to find one that has the right flavor profile for me: spicy and flavorful but not very sweet. But, I haven’t struck gold yet. Until then, I will stick with mostly dry rubs with no sauce.

You can buy Sonny's sweet sauce from Sams club on Airline...it makes a great base to start with. Then add equal parts Barqs rootbeer. Then a good creole seasoning, and a litte red wine vin. Reduce over a low flame till you end up with the same volume you started with of the Sonny's. You will get a classic south louisiana sweet and spicy flavor.

I'm a fan of Salt Lick BBQ sauce too
