Here's my review of some of Jack's "Best Sauces You'll Ever Taste". I bought these about a year ago because I was curious as to how in the holy hell he was able to get his product on the shelves of Walmart across the country. I ordered a jar of BBQ, Hot BBQ, Terikyaki and his Best Seasoning You'll Ever Taste. What obnoxious names for products btw. I don't have the jars in front of me, I'm doing this all by memory unfortunately.
The problem with the sauces is really evident when you open them up. They have a really weird consistency. Usually sauces are thickened by simmering them until they reduce to the thickness you desire, but that takes a lot of effort and time. These sauces are cheap (not in price, they were quite expensive, but in quality). They clearly use a cheap thickening agent, I'm guessing Xantham Gum or corn starch, so it separates kinda like jello instead of being smooth.
As for the taste, the teriyaki wasn't bad, it's pretty hard to mess up teriyaki, it's a very simple recipe (soy sauce + sugar + aromatics). I could eat it again. The BBQ was bad, I wouldn't want them on my ribs. It's pretty telling how when he makes any BBQ, he doesn't use his own sauce. As for his Seasoning, all it is is Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Pepper. It's nothing special that you don't already have in your pantry.
