Big E BBQ Sauce is a simple delicacy made up of 9 ingredients. The tasty creation was first made in a small kitchen in Kings Mountain,NC in 2003 by Eric Pardo.
Eric recognized that most sauces at the grocery stores were “filled with junk.” He said none of them tasted good and they were all made cheap to turn as much profit as possible by adding fillers & preservatives minimize valuable ingredients and extend the shelf life. Big E BBQ sauces has only the good stuff in it, pure ingredients and nothing Else.
After a few years of making it for a growing number of friends and family, he was convinced to start selling it. In 2003 Eric and his wife Dena started Big E BBQ in the kitchen of their home in Kings Mountain, NC.
They made the sauce in small batches using household kitchen appliances, then carefully poured it into glass bottles. These bottles were shipped out to anyone who would call or send a letter to their house asking for some of their incredible BBQ sauce.
The Pardo’s with the help of their 6 children turned their whole kitchen into the factory and office of their small business.
Word and love for the unique sauce spread far and wide over the years. Big E BBQ sauces has been sent to customers in many states.
While the bottle and label have changed a bit over the years, the sauce inside will always be the same.
