Battle-Tested BBQ
Signature Hickory BBQ Sauce
Growing up, Otis family barbecues were fixtures of summer, with the homemade sauce the centerpiece of the meal. For years, Mike Otis begged his father for the recipe, and on his 21st birthday, he was gifted with a tattered recipe card, passed down for generations. Decades later, Mike and his wife, Deardria, decided to bottle their sauce. To honor the family’s deep connection to the armed forces, the company donates 5% of profits from every bottle of Otis’ Battle Tested sauce.

Grill Your Ass Off
Ma Deuce Steak Seasoning

We Are Wonderfully Made
Mango Pepper Sauce
Iman McDonnagh-Brown always loved her grandmother’s cooking; growing up the table was full of roti and oxtail stew and other dishes from her native Trinidad and Tobago. In 2018 she and her husband, Ryan, launched We Are Wonderfully Made, bringing West Indian flavors and personal sensibility from their kitchen to farmer’s markets in San Diego, and supermarket shelves nationwide.

True Made Foods
Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce
When Abe Karmack saw his kids putting ketchup all over their food, he imagined a version of the sauce that kept his young epicureans coming back for more—minus the sugar of most mass-produced brands. A veteran of the U.S. Navy with an M.B.A., he decided to put his business skills and love of food together to create True Made Foods. In 2017, he asked barbecue legend Ed Mitchell to collaborate on a new line of sauces, and Carolina Gold was born.

Rumi Spice
Afghan Curry Braise
Founded by three U.S. Army veterans, Rumi was born from frustration over the cycle of violence on the ground in Afghanistan and a desire to help Afghan farmers sell their saffron overseas. In 2014, Emily Miller, Kim Jung and Keith Alaniz decided to take the leap and try bringing a batch of the country’s highly-coveted spice to American chefs. Today, Rumi is on supermarket aisles and in restaurant kitchens across the U.S.

Battleground Farm
Bourbon Bullet
Set on the historic Battleground Farm in Ball Ground, Georgia, the bourbon finishers are the brainchild of Sgt. Tex Morris. The farm was the site of the 1775 Battle of Taliwa, in which the Cherokee fought for dominance over the Muscogee Creek tribe. For Tex, running the farm and producing products like small-batch beef jerky, apparel and the BARREL.338 bourbon finishers is a way to honor warriors, then and now.
