Cayenne-Spiced BBQ Sauces

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Buddy’s bar-b-q is Adding a New Blazin’ bar-b-q sauce

— August 3, 2024 — Lifestyle
You'll definitely want to visit Tennessee’s favorite bar-b-q joint, Buddy’s bar-b-q, this summer because the chain has just unveiled a smoky and spicy new Blazin’ bar-b-q sauce – the brand's first new bar-b-q sauce flavor in 52 years!

Right now, all of Buddy’s 19 locations in East Tennessee are serving up the brand's new Blazin’ bar-b-q sauce. This sauce is similar to the brand's original Buddy’s original bar-b-q sauce, but the addition of some extra seasonings and a cayenne pepper profile takes the sauce up an extra notch. If you can handle the heat, Buddy's Blazin’ bar-b-q sauce is best enjoyed on the brand's Pork Sandwich, Beef Brisket, or Smoky Dawg for some extra tangy and smoky flavor. The brand even notes that it's Blazin’ bar-b-q sauce makes a great dipping sauce for its Chili & Cheese Hawg Back Fries.
