You know me, I’m ALL about promoting Kentucky restaurants, stores, State Parks, and products. Does a week go by when I’m NOT in your face imploring you to throw your support, love, and money to Kentuckians?! The great thing is, Kentuckians make it so easy for me because they seem to excel at almost everything they do. It makes my job easy when almost everything I set out to review makes me do a happy dance.
My husband (Michael), our youngest daughter (Stephany), her boyfriend (Rusty), and I LOVE BBQ. Call it fate, a smile from God, or incredible luck (or all three) but we live in Owensboro, Kentucky – the BBQ Capital of the world and home to the wonderful Old Hickory Bar-B-Q. What better place for us to live?! Michael came home one day last week with something far better than a dozen roses in his hand. He had a bottle of Henry’s Boogalou BBQ Sauce.
Who says romance is dead?
I’d never seen, or even heard of this BBQ Sauce, so I was beyond excited and anxious to try it out. My excitement only grew when I looked on the label and saw the magical words, “Kentucky Proud.” I had Saucy Swiss Steak in the Crock pot, so we couldn’t use Boogalou that night. I did, however, break into it the very next day! I had a ham to cook and decided, why not make it a BBQ ham a la Old Hickory. When I opened the bottle, I have to confess, I did the finger test. I poured a dab onto my finger and gave it a taste.
The first words to spring into my mind? “Now that’s what I’m talking about!!!”
Stephany and I are as obsessed with BBQ Sauces as we are BBQ. Honestly, we have literally bought, tried, and critiqued every brand found in Kroger and Wal-Mart. We both look for that special something, a certain hard-to-describe but harder to miss “kick.”
With his Boogalou BBQ Sauce, Henry kicks it so hard he needs new shoes.
This is absolutely exceptional BBQ Sauce. It has set a whole new standard for all of us and will be the sauce we measure all other BBQ sauce to in the future. I could spend countless hours and words raving about how delicious and extra special this BBQ Sauce is, but the only way for you to find out for yourself is to try it.
You can (and should!) buy Henry’s Boogalou Sauce at all Owensboro area IGA Stores:
- Owensboro
- Lewisport
- Hartford
- Sebree
- Calhoun
- Whitesville
My one and only problem with Henry’s Boogalou BBQ Sauce is this: He tells a big fat fib on the back label (see below). It says, Warning: May Be Highly Addictive. Balderdash! You can take the May Be out of there – this BBQ Sauce is the most addictive thing since coffee.
