The Texas BBQ Forum

Has anyone ever come up with the recipe for this sauce? I know not everybody likes it but my girls do and you know how Dads are supposed to be able to make anything. I have gotten very close but something is still not right. Thanks, ET

I don't think I have ever seen it. Calling BigWheel, if BW don't have it consider it lost......

I've never heard of it, so no recipes here.

It is a chain here in Texas.

Ahhh, that would explain it!

I just remember Rudy's sauce (sp) as being a typical Texas style sauce, maybe like a Cattleman's variation. Guess I'd have to try it again. My favorite Texas style sauce is outta KC Gates, but I like Stubbs too.

Stubb's in the stores here. Haven't heard of Rudy's. I checked my "clone recipe" sites and came up with nada.

When Rudys first opened in Leon Springs, the sauce ingrediants were listed plainly on the lable. Thats no longer the case. However, I was able to clone the sauce. Now if I can just remember where i put that reciepe???

It is my favorite sauce. Its just easyer to buy it than make it

I think that it is spicier and too black-peppery to be a typical Texas table sauce. It's more like a basting sauce in a bottle.

IMHO the best Texas style sauce is Ollie Gate's sauce outta KC.

Rudy's Sause is one of the best sauses I have ever tryed. Will drink straight out of the bottle. They also sell their beef and turkey rubs, very good also. I have a brother inlaw who was a pit master and manager for Rudy's. He couldn't even find out how it was made.

It's a TX. thing. Rudy's Country store & BBQ is a small restaurant chain wit some pretty good "Q".

[b]BACKWOODS[b] you can always buy a few bottles and re bottle it, or Stop in at lunch and take a pic of the label with the phone cam of the ingredients.
