“I have always wanted to have my own BBQ sauce that my boys would love, while not sacrificing real ingredients so moms and dads would be happy as well. Red Gold is the perfect partner. They not only support Folds of Honor with their Red Gold ketchup, they source all the ingredients right here in the USA,” says John Rich.
The National Restaurant Association 2021 Food and Beverage (FABI) Award recognizes 1776 BBQ sauce for its innovation and great taste. Redneck Riviera’s 1776 BBQ was selected based on its positive benefits to restaurant operators and consumers by an independent panel of experts, representing a variety of both commercial and non-commercial industry segments.
“The FABI Award offers restaurant operators, retailers, and consumers an inside look at the future of food and beverage as the industry continues to innovate and move forward,” says SVP of Red Gold Tim Ingle. “We are absolutely thrilled to bring a best-tasting and better-for-you BBQ sauce and create this for a brand that rewards everyone who works hard and plays hard,” he continued.
Combining intensely flavorful tomato paste, garlic and premium spices, real cane sugar, apple cider vinegar, and a few other surprises, creates the delicious taste that consumers demand when wanting to show off their backyard grilling skills. “Every bite will taste like freedom and it adds the perfect addition in your condiment lineup that is sure to be the crowd-pleaser on your signature ribs, chicken, sandwiches, appetizers and more,” says Rich.
Since launching in March of 2021, 1776 BBQ can already be found in a number of major grocery retailers nationally. Be sure to explore www.redneckriviera.com/bbq to find a store near you to enjoy this new award-winning BBQ sauce.
