Slanker's BBQ Sauce

Our previous owner, Ted Slanker, was never one to just talk about good food—he loved to test it, taste it, and perfect it. Ted spent years experimenting with our grass-fed meats, creating simple, flavorful recipes that showcase the true quality of pasture-raised food. Below is one of his original blog posts featuring a classic recipe we still recommend today—straight from Ted’s kitchen to yours.
