The BBQ Report

As if there was any doubt, the hot sauce festival was pretty dang hot. As I mentioned in a previous post, this weekend was the 15th annual Hot Sauce Festival in downtown Austin. Very crowded and hot, but definitely Austin. Good music, reasonable beer prices, free hot sauce, quite the bargain.

I tried a lot of different salsas, grilling sauces, spice rubs, and other spicy foods. For grilling, I recommend the Austin Spice Company’s “Smoky Hill Barbeque Salsa and Grilling Glaze”, which you can order from their website. It can be used either as dip, or like you would a barbecue sauce. Tasty!

I also bought some roast garlic sea salt from Spiceburst Gourmet Spices. This stuff will go great on grilled ribeyes.
