Saying Goodbye to Dave's Badlands BBQ Sauce

I have bad news for fans of Dave's Gourmet Badlands Barbecue Sauce: After many years of production, the manufacturer has decided to discontinue this savory mustard-tomato BBQ sauce and it is no longer available at the Carolina Sauces online store.

This is indeed very disappointing news, because many people had found Dave's Badlands BBQ Sauce to be a decent replacement for the also-discontinued J.T. Pappy's barbecue sauces.

Unfortunately, I don't have any idea why Dave's Gourmet would discontinue their barbecue sauce -- perhaps it simply wasn't selling in sufficient quantities, or maybe they have a different barbeque sauce in the works. I guess time will tell as to the latter...

If you're looking for a similar barbecue sauce to take the place of Dave's Badlands Barbecue, you could try Ass Whoopin' Redneck Golden BBQ Sauce, which has a hint of smokiness, or Hank Williams Jr. Family Tradition Mild BBQ Sauce, which is a little sweeter and milder in heat.

If you try either of these barbecue sauces or find a different one that's a good substitute, please leave a comment to let us know what you think.

Zestfully yours,
Gloria
