About Gabrick BBQ Sauce Co:
It was Sunday, March 9, 2020, when our beloved food trailer had to close its doors due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Faced with uncertainty, we made a bold decision to bottle our popular barbecue sauce as a means to adapt and continue earning a living. In the midst of challenging times, we found solace in focusing on something positive and keeping our passion alive – providing our guests with a “double portion” of heartfelt hospitality, only this time in the form of bottled sauces. And thus, our journey into the world of Texas BBQ sauces began.
Our initial lineup consisted of three BBQ sauces: Texas Tang, Sweet Heat, and spicy Rebel Red. These sauces quickly gained popularity, delighting thousands of customers with their rich flavors and perfect pairing with beef brisket, pork, sausage, poultry, and seafood. A year later, Candy Jalapeno® was born and has become a favorite of everyone who tries it.
