The official, house-made BBQ sauce of The Shack in Staunton, Virginia is now (thankfully) available by the bottle! The Shack is a restaurant led by chef Ian Boden celebrating Appalachian and Southern dishes his wife grew up with, together with cooking from his own Eastern European Jewish heritage. What makes this sauce special is sorghum, which brings sweetness without the addition of anything artificial. Sorghum is a grain that’s often made into a natural sweetener. It’s been used in southern dishes in prior generations, but hasn’t seen much action on modern menus—until now. Love shack.
