🤠 The Sauce That Keeps on Spreadin' 🤠

Our rebranded, bolder-flavored Whatcha Smokin' BBQ sauces are now officially available at Boone Hy-Vee.

Even better? We're working with the Boone Hy-Vee team to get a sauce sampling event on the calendar, so keep an eye out for details.

We're incredibly grateful for every store that gives our small-town Iowa BBQ a spot on their shelves, and we'd love to keep growing.

Want to see Whatcha Smokin' sauces at your local Hy-Vee? Tag your hometown Hy-Vee in the comments and help us spread the word!

Same Whatcha Smokin' roots. Same recipes we know and love. Just a bolder flavor and refreshed branding.

This ain't our first taco rodeo.

Brisket Elote Tacos loaded with smoked brisket, sweet corn, cotija cheese, jalapeños, and a dusting of chili powder, all wrapped up in a tortilla shell.

National BBQ Month might be coming to a close, but around here, BBQ isn't just a month on the calendar. It's early mornings tending the pits, long days in the kitchen, finding the perfect sauce for every bite, and showing up for the communities that support us year after year.

Throughout May, we've shared a little behind-the-scenes look at what keeps Whatcha Smokin' SMOKIN'. From the folks working the pits and the kitchen to the sauces on your table and the communities we're proud to serve, every part plays a role in what we do.

Most importantly, THANK YOU. Whether you stopped in for lunch, ordered catering, visited us at an event, grabbed a bottle of sauce, or followed along online, we appreciate you being part of our BBQ family.

National BBQ Month may be ending, but around here, BBQ is a year-round affair. We'll keep smokin' the good stuff all year long.
