About the Vendor:
One of the oldest barbecue joints in the USA is still in operation, the Golden Rule opened its doors in Irondale in 1891. Operated by the Williams family, the place was a popular stop for barbecue and beer on what was then the Atlanta Highway. In the 1930s electrician Jabo Stone married Ellene Williams and into the family business. For the next forty years, the Stones operated the Golden Rule. The Stones had no children to carry on their legacy, so in 1969 Jabo Stone approached Michael Matsos about taking over the business. Michael had been in the restaurant business for a few decades already, opening the legendary La Paree Restaurant and then his namesake Michael’s Sirloin Room in downtown Birmingham. Though he didn’t know much about barbecue, Michael saw a good business opportunity in the Golden Rule and took it over in 1969. In the intervening years the Golden Rule has expanded, not only its menu, but its presence throughout Alabama and the South.
Michael Matsos passed away in January 2012. The Kemp Family purchased Golden Rule BBQ in 2022 to continue Michael's Legacy. Visit any Golden Rule BBQ location , to not only eat good bbq but to experience a piece of 130 year old history.

About the Vendor: THE FOUNDERS OF FLAVOR
We’re Greg and David, brothers (we know, you can tell) and co-founders of Melinda’s.
We’re long-time foodies and dang good cooks who started making hot sauce after we noticed that other hot sauces just didn’t have the same flavor that our homemade sauces did. Why? Because we were the only ones using fresh ingredients instead of dried spices and vinegar. So we decided to play with fire and flavor in the best place imaginable—the kitchen.
Using the freshest produce and the best chile peppers on the planet, we have spent three decades perfecting over 40 sauces and condiments that are outrageously fresh and give everyone the heat they’re jonesing for. From saucing wings and dipping fries to adding a kick to pizza and tacos, we have the heat and flavor that you can really put on anything.
A FRESH START
Our incredible chefs start with only the freshest peppers and slow-simmer them with ripe, all-natural produce to create sauces with full-on flavor for heat-lovers of all kinds.
HOT FOR FLAVOR
Making something hot is easy. We’re here to make it more. We balance heat and flavor as equals to create pitch-perfect sauces that enhance your food without obliterating it.
MORE TO LOVE
Our love for food has no limit, which is why we have the right sauce for whatever is right in front of you. From tacos and pizza to pasta and wings, there’s a Melinda’s for that.
