I recently did a story on Krazy K's BBQ Sauce and wanted to try them. I had received samples last month and found time to do just that. Let's see which sauce I preferred!

I had some pulled pork separated in three portions which a sauce on each. There's Original, "Kurly Tails" and "Red" and they are very distinct.

I first tried the vinegar-based Original sauce, blended from apple cider vinegar with portioned sugars and spices. It was not as potent as other vinegar sauces I've had before. Pretty flavorful and compliments the meat rather than overpowering it.

Next was the "Kurly Tails" sauce. This is mustard-based with a balanced mixture of honey and molasses. You could taste immediately the sweetness. It's a sauce that I would use to introduce people to mustard bases who are worried about mustardy potency. It's there, but nothing like a mustard you'd use on a hamburger or hot dog. Some people think that when they see mustard. This sauce is spot on for the treatment of the meat and tongue!

Finally, the "Red" sauce. Tomato-based with a "sugar-tweek" and some "sweet-heat". Yeah, it's true. This is by far my top choice. I loved how it complimented the flavors of the pork, but didn't drown them out. You get that sweety heaty aftertaste, but not a burny one. It's addictive. I even put some on chicken pilau and it was so good!

​All three are excellent in the flavor combinations. Try them and see if you end up with the same choice I made! 

Had to stop in and see David Milligan. He posted a status on the Milligan's at Belle Isle Facebook page that caught my attention. Seems Chef Justin was going to go all Spanish that night!

And he sure did. The special was Shellfish Paella with chicken and sausage. And if you know anything about this dish, the wait is part of the appeal.

Blending the right flavors and ingredients is a true art, something Justin has been extensively trained in. The result proved he passed with flying colors when in culinary class. 

He actually trained in Spain, folks.

I enjoyed every bit of it. The sampling above shows the fine attention to detail. Such a quaint portion, but it packed a powerful punch of zesty flavor!
