Ken Davis BBQ Sauce |

Once upon a time there was a jazz bassist and entrepreneur from Nebraska named Ken Davis.

He was a great big bear of a man, imposing bot in size and audacity. Wearing dark glasses and sporting a big cigar, he appeared on the Minnesota horizon in the mid 1960’s. People in these parts had never encountered anyone quite like him.

Ken opened a resturaunt in Minneapolis in the late 1960’s. Like many trendy eating joints if the time, they served chicken, ribs and pizza – carry out or delivery. They served a GREAT barbeque sauce.

There was only one thing wrong with the barbeque sauce. There was no recipe. Like his grandmother who taught him how to make the sauce, Ken made it by combining a little of this and that untill it taksed and looked right. If he was out of something, he substituted something else. As a result, the BBQ sauce was different every time.
