Ravens Bark hails from Houston, Texas, where barbecue is an art form. Ravens Bark BBQ Sauce was born from a corporate client who was impressed with a homemade BBQ sauce they tasted while having dinner with the Ravens Bark family and asked them to develop it for his customers. This request and a family recipe for homemade sauce became the inspiration for the original flavor, The General. We craft our sauce in small batches, to control quality and insure freshness. You can bet your boots that every bottle is fresh, balanced to perfection and will make you the neighborhood pit master. HFCS Free.

Grilled Clams
This weekend we went to a family barbecue in Buffalo, NY and we were inspired! Nothing says summer like fresh grilled shellfish. We got our inspiration after watching our cousins “steam” clams on the grill. They had a cooler filled with little neck clams and placed them directly on the grill over medium heat. Once the clams are open, they are cooked. Simply place the cooked clams in bowl and serve with hot sauce or a sprinkle of some Nantucket Off-Shore Bayou Rub. It’s a crowd pleaser not to mention a great icebreaker. Standing over a bowl of steaming hot clams is sure to get the conversation going. Enjoy.
