I use this stuff when I make pulled pork sandwiches. The name change was dumb and gay, but the sauce is good.

Damn, can't purchase it on that site

Gates will always be the perfect sauce to me.

You guys are killing me with this thread, I had two peanut butter and butter sandwiches for dinner, and now I come on here and read this. Damn. I love good BBQ, now that is second on my list after Taco makings for when I go shopping, and I am stranded at home until the repair truck picks up my wheel chair and takes it to the shop to repair and delivers it back to meagain, which means I'll gorge myself when I am finally get these done. The last BBQ I had was ground beef cooked crumbly with BBQ sauce out of the bottle, pretty much the quality depends upon the sauce.

You won't find it in any stores. It's a local sauce out of Tonganoxie, KS called Fat Sam's. The absolute perfect mixture of sweet and spicy.

So, what was the time before that? Was it something different than hamburger doused in BBQ sauce? I mean, did it have some smoke flavor provided by real smoke?

ROFL I was thinking the same thing. If San Diego BBQ is ground beef with BBQ sauce, I'll stick with Mexican if I'm ever in the area.

Gadzooks should be banned for posting that shit.

Smokehouse/Jack Stack, pretty much the same, pure awesomeness.

Gates is very easy to mimic at home. Nothing like that available in AL, so I make my own. My recipe base started with the Gates version, but now you would hardly recognize it. Tasty stuff.

sweet baby rays for ribs and pork

gates for beef

There's a new bbq place down here in S. florida everyone has been talking about so the wife and i checked it out. the house sauce said KC Cattlemans, it's Gates no doubt about it.

Order it online

Did you actually read my post? Why would I order it online when it's very easy to mimic (and cheaper, certainly, than mail order) for yourself. Besides, the changes that I made to the recipe make mine better.

Maybe you should start a business. I'm sure your BBQ sauce is far from Gates.
