About


If you ask me, the BBQ sauce capital of the world is Kansas City. Known for its sweet and spicy tomato-based sauces, K.C. gives you the best of both worlds. This classic Kansas City sauce will not let you down. It comes at you with the sweetness of dark brown sugar and molasses followed by the spice of chili powder and, just when you think it's done, a hint of smoke.
