Back in January I entered a contest to win a pack of Doomer's "Q" sauce. I was lucky and won. At my house we have our staple sauces that I make so don't buy commercial sauces on a regular basis. Since I have started up this blog I have had a couple sauces come in for reviews but always have a hard time opening a new bottle unless another bottle of sauce is gone. I finally decided it was time to try Doomer's "Q" Sauce Original. I'm glad I did.


I fired up my grill to cook some pork chops on and use the sauce with. I sprinkled the pork chops with my Q rub and let them sit for a little while to get the rub and flavors to activate.

Rubbed and ready.

When the grill was hot enough, I put the chops on for five minutes on each side. I then basted them with the Doomer's Q sauce and flipped them for about two and a half minutes. I then did the other side. I served the pork chops to the family with rice. I added some of the sauce to my rice to give it a little extra flavor. We all enjoyed them very much.

Cooking nicely.

Sauced.

Ready to eat.

The Sauce
The sauce has a nice consistency. It is not as thick as ketchup but it is not as runny as vinegar. It makes it easy to paint onto meat and would work well as a marinade.

You can see some of the spices suspended in the sauce and it has a nice tangy, sweet smell to it that gets your mouth watering. The flavor of it is tomatoey, spicy and something else that we couldn't quite figure out. After reading the label we decided it must be the anchovies that are used in the sauce. They give it a very nice umami flavor.

One of my girls thought the sauce was too spicy. My other daughter and wife thought it was just right, as did I. I could easily use this sauce on wings, chicken, ribs and even brisket. It has a great flavor that complements the meat well. I might even try it on grilled shrimp.

For dessert we had a nice strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries from a local farm. It was a great dinner.

YUMMY!!!

This is defiantly a "hand crafted sauce." On the Gibbs Ribs scale* this sauce gets a full rack of perfectly cooked ribs. I recomend picking up a bottle and trying it at your next cookout. I look forward to trying the other Doomer sauces I have. I just need to find the right meat to try them on.

*When I do reviews, books or otherwise, I rate the items with ribs (they are my favorite BBQ dish). A full rack is great and a single rib is poor. I will tend to stick to a full rack, half rack or one rib.
