Warpig BBQ
We started out as a competition BBQ team in 2009. I had a sauce sponsor that would eventually go out of business and leave us looking for something that would give us a competitive edge. I decided it was time to make my own sauce, to formulate something with the color, consistency, and flavor I was looking for. I started bottling the sauce in mason jars and using it in competitions. Once I made the stage at the HLSR cookoff placing 8th in ribs, the other competitors came around asking to buy my sauce. So, I decided to rent space in a local commercial kitchen and bottle the sauce for retail. As a veteran, I wanted to be able to donate money from my sauce sales to veterans charities. I teamed up with the Folds Of Honor and decided to donate $.50 of every bottle sold. I had no idea what this would lead to. I got into a few small BBQ shops across the state and then one of my friends suggested I enter HEB’s Quest for Texas Best. Out of over 600 products, our FUBAR Sauce (For Use On Butts And Ribs) took 1st place! So, in January 2018, we entered HEB, we started in 150 stores an by the end of 2018, we were in over 280 stores. FUBAR was the number one selling sauce in HEB for 2018 in their premium section. In 2018, we were able to donate $26,000 to the Folds Of Honor! In January of 2019, I placed two new flavors of sauce into HEB and they are already selling out. My SNAFU sauce (Situation Normal All Fowler Up) is an orange, pineapple and chipotle sauce that donates to the Lone Survivor Foundation and my FUBAR Flamethrower teamed up again with the Folds Of Honor.
