Q?

Who makes your sauce?

A.

My Son Don and I do!  All our products are made  in small batches.  In our commercial kitchen. We successfully rehabbed in a 100 year old building in, a sleepy little Tennessee town, Rossville, TN .  Rossville is a small town just outside of Collierville and 30 minutes from Memphis, TN.  The area is a fast growing community center ed around it's little town square.

Q?

Is it really hot?

A.

No,  our original Papi's Tennessee Pepper Sauce  is sweet N tangy with an after burn.

We now have a Papi's X-Treme with the distinctive flavor of Ghost Peppers, which provides a hotter experience to those who are looking for more heat.  None of our sauces will burn your taste buds or linger long term.  Our sauces are developed to enhance your food experience.

BBQ's Sauces each have their own distinct flavors.  Papi-Q is Tart-N-Tangy BBQ Sauce, made with Apple Cider vinegar, a dash of sweet local molasses and hickory smoked sea salt.   Tennessee Whisky BBQ Sauce, is a bit sweeter, with a distinct flavor of the finest in Tennessee Whisky.

Papi's Sassy Bloody Mary is a delicious mixture of  local fresh Tennessee tomatoes and just the right combination of spice.

Smokn' Good Rimmer adds that extra dazzle to your Bloody Mary glass rim! Made with a tad of extra spice, naturally hickory smoked and lime infused sea salts.  We have customers that are using this product for a rub or on the table as an enhancement to all their foods.
