Summer’s over, but we’re not giving up grilling completely just yet. Many even enjoy grilling during the holidays. I have a great story about a barbecue sauce brand created by three men: Rodney Robinson, Lathay Pegues and Terrell Cooper.
John Tom Branson, the grandfather of 2 co-founders, is the inspiration behind the product. His love of grilling was undeniable. Born in the “Deep South”, he moved to Indiana with his family, where he continued to live out his passion for grilling. On most summer weekends, John Tom can be found ‘wood smoking’ meat and selling BBQ dinners to loyal neighborhood customers. Locals sensed his presence, but it was his secret sauce that made him a BBQ legend. John Tom’s eldest grandson was usually right by his side, helping to prepare each batch. Though too young to remember the recipe, years after John Tom’s death, he attempted to replicate the secret formula.
After almost five years of trying, he still hadn’t copied his grandfather’s recipe, but surprisingly created his own and everyone loved it. The sauce is now sold in many retail stores across the country.
