This just in:
VANCOUVER, BC – Barbecue Champion and cookbook author Rockin’
Ronnie Shewchuk and International Award Winning Hot Sauce maker
Denzel Sandberg are proud to announce the launch of their
“Ronnie & Denzel’s” line of
all-natural barbecue sauces.
The newly formed partnership has produced four lip-smackin’ sauces
that pay tribute to the unique barbecue regions of the Southern
States and the Caribbean. They are:
• Kansas City
Style, a classic tomato-based sauce with a bit of spice and
a nice tang;
• Southwestern
Red, a naturally smoky sauce with the flavours of New Mexico
Chiles and spices;
• Honey
Mustard, which is loosely based on the sauces of South
Carolina; and
• Habanero
Heat, a truly fiery sauce with flavours reminiscent of the
Caribbean islands.
“Denzel is a great cook and it’s been a lot of fun collaborating
with him to create this line of classic barbecue sauces,” says
Ronnie. “They’re true to tradition at the same time as they reflect
our unique styles.” The sauces are all natural and are made in
small batches with high quality ingredients that are totally free
of chemical preservatives.
Ronnie will be sampling the sauces at three launch events in the
Lower Mainland:
