Don’t Get It On Your Forehead - Our Story
My saucy story began in Houston Texas in the early ’80s while living there working as a recruiter for the oil industry. Weekend activities for my friends and I consisted of lots of beer drinking and experimenting with different methods of recreating the mouthwatering brisket that could be found at joints all around Texas. None of our efforts were successful, sad to say. Fast forward to the early ‘90s. I was managing a barbecue restaurant in Dublin, Georgia and began playing around with making barbecue sauce. Georgia barbecue is pork, but my brisket experiments continued and my sauce began to take form.
Fast forward again to 2004. We moved to Greenbrier, Tennessee and in 2005 to Springfield. I had perfected my sauce and was making converts out of my family and friends. In between working gigs in refineries in Texas, Louisiana, California, and Washington, we would host cookouts at our home. In 2015 I founded Kenny Bob’s Foods and opened a small barbecue joint in Greenbrier. My specialty was...brisket. Yes, I produced the best brisket outside of the state of Texas, hands down, no question. My other specialty was sauce; Kenny Bob’s Sippin-Dippin & Flippin Sauce in a mild and a hot version.
In the restaurant business you either have to have a lot of capital or a great location. Sadly to say I had neither and the restaurant closed in late 2017. I hung up my spurs, turned the horse out to pasture and cried myself to sleep. Just before Christmas 2018 I got an email out of the blue from a guy who had seen my page. He asked me if I would be interested in bottling my sauce for distribution and sale. I stared at that email and thought “Hell Yeah!” So, as of March 1st Kenny Bob’s Sippin-Dippin & Flippin Sauce will hit the market.
Two questions I get from folks is. “What does ‘Don’t get it on your forehead’ mean, and why do you call it Sippin-Dippin & Flippin Sauce? As for the first question, I come from a family of twelve (5 girls and 7 boys) we are all good cooks, and we are all half-assed comedians. My oldest brother whom we called Junior was probably the funniest of us all. When he cooked something he was particularly proud of he would say, “don’t get any on your forehead, ‘cause your toung will beat your brains out trying to get to it.” So, I shortened his phrase to add a little mystery and it stuck.
