Happy Que Year!
The Ultimate BBQ Experience
Welcome to The Ultimate BBQ Experience: Happy Que Year! We’re ready to help you bring in 2025 like a pro pitmaster, and get this year started right. Lead Pitmaster Rosalie has curated an innovative and satisfying box this month, with a collection of BBQ delights. You’ll experience items that are savory, smoky, and sweet - and you will love the results these different flavors will deliver. Plus we’ve got you covered with tips and recipes that will unleash your pitmaster talents. From all of us at Grill Masters Club, we wish you a very Happy Que Year!
Saucy Rascals Everyday Original BBQ Sauce: This delicious sauce was developed to shake up the "traditional" BBQ sauce market. What you will find with our sauces is a balanced blend of tangy, sweet and heat...and a flavor profile that will pair with so many of your meals! Amazing on smoked ribs, brisket, pork or chicken, it’s also great for sandwiches, fish, burgers, tacos and so much more.
Smoky Honey Seasoning & Rub by Rainier Foods: There are lots of honey rubs on the market but they all happen to be missing one thing – actual wet honey. We get it, real honey is expensive and challenging to incorporate into a dry seasoning, but adds a flavor that cannot be matched if you’re using only a processed honey powder. Rainier Foods uses Pacific Northwest cover blossom honey, cherrywood smoked sea salt and smoked paprika to create a honey rub for the more discerning BBQ enthusiast. This rub will create a sweet, sticky flavor on all of your meals!
Saucy Rascals Everyday Mayo-BBQ: This creamy blend of flavors incorporates creamy mayonnaise with Saucy Rascals Everyday Original BBQ Sauce. It’s the ultimate dipping sauce for anything, but especially amazing on chicken fingers, French fries, potato skins, quesadillas, burritos, sandwiches and so much more.
Super Chunk Steakhouse Seasoning by Sauce Goddess: A 2017 ZestFest Golden Chile Winner, this versatile blend takes care of all your seasoning needs with its light and fresh spices. We’re not kidding. It’s so versatile and delicious, you can use this on any protein or vegetable you would find in a steakhouse. It’s perfect on steaks and chops. It’s a go-to spice for roasting any veggie, especially potatoes. Use it just like salt. Sprinkle, cook, enjoy!
Fire Starter Travel Pack by Superior Trading Co.: Made in Minnesota, these all-natural, waterproof and odorless fire starters are perfect for lighting charcoal grills, smokers, campfires and more. Each pod burns for 10-15 minutes to get your fire blazing without the need for added chemicals.
Happy grilling,

Stefan Nicodemou, Founder/CEO
As a young boy of Greek heritage, often my job at family events was manually cranking the rotisserie’s spit over an open fire. A bit older, I was fortunate enough to travel the globe for work and pleasure. I visited every continent except Antarctica by age 29, and was always sampling flavors and learning new cooking methods—it is safe to say I ate my way around the world! Both experiences instilled in me the belief that food tastes better when it is made simply, is full of flavor, and shared with family and friends.
Years later this still holds true.
Nothing makes me happier than cooking delicious meals with my two young boys. When I won a local BBQ charity competition, demand for my BBQ sauce grew thanks to its high-quality ingredients and unique flavor. We described it as “tangy and sweet with a bit of heat.” There were my boys helping me fill orders, mixing and measuring. Together we tried and tested the perfect bottle to create a fine application with minimal waste, the precision squeeze. Soon we started tasting the sauce on different things, from scrambled eggs to cheese quesadillas. We discovered it didn’t just work great for BBQ, slathered on smoked ribs, brisket, pork or chicken, but for enhancing the flavor of literally everything. Hence, Saucy Rascals Everyday BBQ Sauce was born.
After the success of OG BBQ Sauce, we decided to venture into new directions, including:
- Spicy BBQ - taking our Original BBQ and adding a touch of Carolina Reaper
- Mayo-BBQ - combining creamy homemade mayo with our Spicy BBQ sauce
- Ketchup - we made it as a base for our BBQ Sauce, so why not bottle it!
- Hot Sauce - fruity, citrus notes with a touch of sweet and balanced heat
- Black Garlic Teriyaki - an oooh-mami bomb in your mouth, great for marinades
I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.
- Stefan

About the Vendor:
We’re bringing Epic Flavor to your meals!
Food has an uncanny ability to connect people, evoke memories, and create lasting bonds. In my family, there’s one recipe that stands out as the epitome of togetherness and joy: My Dad’s recipe for BBQ sauce. Over the past 50 years, this mouthwatering dish has not only tantalized our taste buds but has also brought our family closer together. Let me tell you how it all started.
When I was a very small girl, my Dad began to make his own barbecue sauce (now known as Sticky Sweet) because he really disliked what he found at the store; a sauce was full of liquid smoke. What he made was simple barbecue sauce and it was delicious!
I grew up not knowing it was different. The love for that sticky gooey sauce for ribs and chicken grew as we shared our love for cooking with friends and beyond. I took the sauce in jars from home to college and cooked for my roommates. They were hooked.
One day my parents announced they were moving. I panicked, yes I would miss them, but what about the sauce? I had to get the recipe. His response was, “What recipe?” So we began a funny journey to get him to use actual measuring cups and I created a recipe.
Then my friends threw down a challenge and said the words I will never forget, “Jen don’t get old and wonder what if you ever did something with that recipe for barbecue sauce”.
I started the company a month later with one recipe and added a spicer version (Sweet & Spicy) and went to market. I knew a retailer, Ron, that might give me a solid opinion about the product. So I took samples to him. A few weeks later (the middle of December), I received a voicemail from Ron. He said, “I never call prospective vendors in the middle of December, but we all loved your product, can you have it ready for an event in our store January 20th?” I said yes and then figured out a way to make it. A few years ago, I jokingly told him it was all his fault I started down this road.
One thing that has always been important to me is that the product itself is not bad for you. So I started out using real food and as a company, we still use real food. Our products have always been Vegan, back before anyone but vegans knew what that was. We changed to a gluten-free recipe about 15 years ago and now test and certify our products as gluten-free. We’ve always known that it’s very important to us to use fresh, real, clean ingredients. We all deserve to eat proper food.
With all these delicious ingredients we bring amazing flavors to all our sauces, spice rubs, and dip & spread mixes.
Why is it important to eat real food?
Yes, it is very important we keep it simple, with no additives and nothing but recognizable ingredients. Why is that a big deal to have real food in our sauces and spices? Because we care about what we feed our bodies.
Well, do you know what silicone dioxide is? It’s sand. Do you want an anti-caking ingredient like that in your food? Didn’t you eat enough dirt and sand as a toddler?
How about Xanthan Gum, do you know what it is? It’s derived from the mold that grows on corn. When the sugar from corn starts to ferment, you get a gooey substance that some manufacturers add to food. Yummy. Seriously companies use it to stretch ingredients to make products cheaply. They do this instead of using real food.
Eat Well, Live Better.
- No Junk. Our products are made from the highest quality ingredients around. Vegan. Certified Gluten-Free. Non-GMO. You won’t find any additives or preservatives in our stock.
