I should have known better. I knew better. A brand of BBQ sauce (or anything else for that matter) that needs a celebrity to put their name behind them cannot be very good. And I already had an idea that that guy, Emeril, was a joke. For the first time I saw his show on the Food Network (in Oregon, at the Weasku Lodge, while Mika slept in my arms). He looked like a construction worker… no, he talked like a construction worker. He was making steak tartare (which turns out to be an uncooked ground beef patty) and he was going through the steps as if instructing us how to change a faucet. Is that the deal with him? How unlikely he seems to be a top chef? Is he a top chef, anyway, or a joke to everyone but himself – or is he in in the joke as well?
But I digress, I should have known better but I bought the damn BBQ sauce (Emeril’s Sweet Original BAM B-Q). It was on sale at Safeway – Jack Daniels wasn’t. I needed two bottles. It tasted exactly like Heinz. Even Mike thought that.
If the guy is not a joke, how sad for him! I mean, to give up your whole professional credibility in order to make a few bucks! How greedy or desperate do you have to be to put your name on such a low quality product?
Now for the review: If you like Heinz BBQ sauce, you’ll like this, if not, or you’ve never tasted Heinz, avoid it.
I just wanted to let you know that this BBQ sauce is the best I’ve ever had and I’ve a lot as I BBQ all the time year round. However, I can’t seem to find it in my stores anymore or where ever I had bought the 1 bottle I had. I want to purchase some more but I can’t find it.
May I buy it through you???????
