I'm In Love With My Nephews

Twitter is a wonderful way to “meet” people!

I got a tweet from @nephewsbbq (Dylan Moody) asking if I’d like to have some samples of his BBQ sauces to try.  I told him I’d be happy to give them a taste.  A few days later a box arrived with jars of all six flavors.   I don’t normally review six BBQ sauces all at once, but I figured in this case it would be the best thing to do.  So I had a few friends over, cooked up some chicken drumettes and we taste tested all the sauces.

Nephews BBQ sauce is a gourmet line of bbq sauces where we pair the sweetness of fruit with the spiciness of chili peppers. The result is an award winning line of unique bbq sauces that will make you the king of your next backyard bbq or tailgate. Nephews started out as a wedding favor for friends and family at his wedding in 2009. The response was overwhelming and after winning an award in December Nephews BBQ Sauce was born. Once you try our sauce we are confident you will invite Nephews to all your bar-b-ques!

So here’s a compilation of the comments from five wing users over the course of an evening.  It’s interesting to note the degree of “heat” each of the taste testers could handle.  My comments about each sauce is marked in italics.

Stupid Crazy Hot?

So with no other options in the house I had no choice but to get out the vanilla ice cream and the Afterburner sauce.

I’m not even sure how to review this stuff.  The first taste told me this was not your ordinary hot fudge.  The creamy sweetness of the vanilla ice cream combined with the cocoa and sugars in the sauce hits the front of the tongue and tastes awesome.  Then the habanero kicks in as the dessert slides down your throat.  And you know immediately this isn’t your mother’s hot fudge.
