Review: Devil’s Tongue Steak Sauce

When Ed’s RoadhousE asked me try their steak sauce I said I would.  I’m not really sure what possessed me to agree to it because I’m not a steak sauce user.  My thought on steak sauce is that if my steak needs a sauce to make it taste good/better then you either cooked it poorly
