It’s a little tangy, a little mild. It has what you need for a balanced sauce.
WIVIOTT
Some of these sauces are offensive; this sauce is innocuous. It’s a good base sauce with a little tang and no overly dominant flavor.

I thought this was a decent basic sauce. It won’t make the slab of ribs, but it won’t hurt it. I would eat this.

Editor’s note: The TOC Eat Out staff picked Smoke Daddy as best of this tasting, but we should mention that our two favorite non-Chicago tomato-based sauces are Cowtown’s Night of the Living Bar-B-Que Sauce (oklahomajoesbbq.com) and Fiorella’s Jack Stack Spicy (jackstackbbq.com), both available online.
