Bar-B-Q sauce is the second-most common sauce on all restaurant menus. To help chefs and operators add flavor with regional authenticity, McCormick For Chefs, the Food Away From Home division of McCormick & Company, is bringing a consumer favorite to foodservice. Stubb’s Bar-B-Q sauce originated shortly after C.B. Stubblefield opened his Legendary Bar-B-Q Restaurant in Lubbock, Texas.
