Black Women in the BBQ Supply Chain: The Sauce and Seasoning Makers
We have explored the role Black women play in the BBQ supply chain by featuring the farmers, ranchers and vendors, the butchers, and the pitmasters. As a final installment, we have curated a list of the sauce, seasoning and condiment makers. Each maker has a distinct heritage rooted in Black barbecue history. And each maker operates a small business worthy of support.
