Still There Shine Sauce, BBQ Sauces with a Unique Ingredients
Tuesday Apr 11, 2023
Tuesday Apr 11, 2023
Today Johnnie is talking with Dave Bettendorf of Still There Shine Sauce out of North Carolina.
Cooking professionally for 30+ years has given Dave the opportunity to perfect his palate and create Still There Bbq sauces. The process started in 2007, with an old stock pot and an idea. He wanted to engage the history of the region and deliver a product that would be different yet easily applicable. Armed with a lifetime of knowledge he began to mix, taste and remix.
Still There Shine Sauce was created as an extension of a 35-year culinary adventure. The notion that bbq sauces and rubs are just ingredients thrown together without any rhyme or reason was the driving force behind our sauces and rubs. Meticulous development and crisp profiles make Still There Shine Sauce a win win for any occasion.
