Many of our customers love our Cook Security Group BBQ Sauce and ask us the “story behind the sauce”. We bought a batch from one of our customers to give away at a trade show one year and it was a surprising hit. However, we failed to bring sauce the following year and there was a major uproar! We brought back the BBQ sauce, customized the label. The sauce became a signature of Cook Security Group and we now give it away at each trade show we attend throughout the year!
