Press Release for Uncle Jay's BBQ - 2025 Sauces of Honor Contest

"Uncle Jay's BBQ made a bold impression at the 2025 Sauces of Honor Contest hosted by Barbecue News Magazine. [Uncle Jay's] earned multiple top-tier placements, including two Overall Top 15 honors."
"The Sauces of Honor Contest is one of the world's most respected blind-judged barbecue sauce competitions. A record-breaking 741 sauces from 41 U.S. States, Canada, and the United Kingdom were entered this year. Judging is based solely on flavor performance - no branding, no packaging - just how each sauce complements specific proteins like pork, chicken, beef, or seafood."
"'Jay has built something truly special with Uncle Jay's BBQ,' said Kell Phelps, Publisher of Barbecue News Magazine and Managing Partner of the NBBQA. 'Placing second overall and securing multiple top-five category finishes is a remarkable accomplishment.'"
"Congratulations to Jay and Uncle Jay's BBQ for earning national recognition and putting Nebraska barbecue on the map!"

-- Kell Phelps

Andy - Elkhorn, NE

"I can't get enough of Uncle Jay's BBQ Sauce! From the moment I opened the bottle, the rich, smoky aroma had my mouth watering. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, making it ideal for ribs, brisket, chicken, and even grilled veggies. Every bite is bursting with flavor, and my family always asks for seconds! Whether I'm hosting a barbecue or just grilling on a weeknight, Uncle Jay's is my go-to sauce. Highly recommended to anyone who loves great BBQ!

Our Story

Although I began creating this sauce in 2017, the roots have been growing for over half a century. My Grandma, Helen, built the foundation of this sauce and it has paved the way for the creation of Uncle Jay's BBQ. So sit back, pour some sauce, and enjoy this savory blend. You may just find yourself wondering if you can drink it..in which case, we won't judge! Enjoy!
