J. Lee’s Gourmet BBQ Sauce Founder, Reconnects with the Man that Taught Him How to Barbecue
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) October 29, 2014 -- In early October, the Sauce Team (TST) of J. Lee’s Gourmet BBQ Sauce was privileged to travel to Michigan and Illinois to introduce their product to military base commissaries. While there, the founder of the sauce recipe, James Lee also known as J. Lee, reconnected with his uncle retired Master Sergeant Issac Lee, the man who first taught him how to barbecue. As a teenager J. Lee would visit his uncle during the summer and watch how he mastered the art of barbecuing. “If you don’t want to be in the kitchen all day, every day, make a sauce you can put on anything”- Isaac Lee (spoken to James Lee in the late 90’s)
While is Michigan and Illinois the company visited the Selfridge, MI commissary, Rock Island commissary, Great Lakes commissary and Scott Air force Base. The highlight of the trip was their sellout product presentation at Scott AFB with a record of 120 bottles sold in just one hour. The company attributes their success to hard work and the delicious recipe created by J. Lee.
