Hak’s BBQ Sauce Collection
Sharone has always been the guy behind the grill. And now, he’s the man behind the sauce! He wanted to redefine BBQ, and elevate it with real body and developed flavor. Each ingredient has its own characteristic and role in the full experience. Like a perfectly aged scotch, it embodies a complexity of layers. Sweet and tangy flavors hit full blast. The robust taste and texture of caramelized onion and garlic surface, punctuated by a deep smack of bourbon. Smoked and roasted chilies release heat that comforts the palate. This sauce was Sharone’s secret weapon on MasterChef. Feeding his BBQ sauce-smothered steak to 500 Marines at Camp Pendleton, then satisfying America’s road warriors with gourmet BBQ burgers during a truck stop challenge. When TV’s toughest food critics and chefs were blown away by this sauce, Sharone knew it was time to share.
Chipotle Bourbon
Like a perfectly aged scotch, Chipotle Bourbon embodies a complexity of layers. Sweet and tangy flavors hit full blast. The robust taste and texture of caramelized onion and garlic surface, punctuated by a deep smack of bourbon. Smoked and roasted chilies release heat that comforts the palate.
Habenero Pineapple
This combination of sweet and spicy is perfection. The small touch of Habenero that lingers on your lips is soothing and comforting. When counter-balanced by the freshness of pineapple a very unique and exciting BBQ sauce is born.
Tamarind
Tamarind, a tropical fruit, is paired with an array of chilies in this exciting version of Hak’s BBQ sauce. This is once again an “out of the box” look at something so simple like BBQ sauce. Go ahead and try something new, who knows, you may love it!
