Maull's

People in St. Louis know about Maull's barbecue sauce, and most love
it. It is interesting. Raw out of the bottle, I find it rather
unappealing, but grilled onto a pork steak or chicken, it's really
nice. If you're passing through StL, pick up a bottle (no, I don't
work for them).

I've lived in the St. Louis area for nearly 50 years and heartily recommend
that, if you're passing through, don't even think about Maull's. It is no
better than any mediocre store-brand, generic sauce. Why bother; almost any
cook could do better doctoring up a bottle of Brooks catsup.

Decent bbq is available in a number of restaurants, both Carolinas style as
well as Tenessee and KC styles; there are many home cooks who makes their
own sauces that are pretty good. If you have to stoop to Maull's, you may
as well eat McDonald's McRibs.

I don't care for Maull's and wasn't there a huge scandal years ago about
one of the Maull heirs? IIRC (and I may not) one of the sons was accused
of child molestation? For some reason we were boycotting it for some
reason. Maybe we were boycotting because of the taste 😉

Now that you mention it, I do dimly recall there being some controversy an
number of years back that had one of the Maull heirs drawing fire. Can't
recall any of the details.

I used the St Louis Public Libarary online, newspaper archive database to
search for Maull barbecue sauce, but turned up nothing relevant. However,
among the things it did turn up was an interesting 1994 Elaine Viets column:
WHO SAYS ST. LOUIS CAN'T BARBECUE?
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
August 2, 1994
Author: By Elaine Viets
Estimated printed pages: 3

One of the things it does is, explain the STL love of pork steaks and, I
must admit, I do love them, I just don't like them Maull'ed.

I know it was a big scandal. I tried the Post Dispatch archives and
Google and couldn't come up with anything. I *do* know the buzz about it
went on for weeks within the gay community.

I love pork steaks but I get tired of them after awhile. They are at
every BBQ, local fair and many restaurants. I prefer them grilled and
then I'll dunk them in whatever sauce I like on them. I just don't care
for Maull's.

A lot of people dislike it. You are fine in thinking that to you, it
is similar in appeal to doctored Brooks catsup, but you shouldn't give
the impression that it is similar to such. Maull's is a non-mustard,
low molasses BBQ sauce. I have three problems with it:
1. too vinegarry (surprise, surprise)
2. too runny
3. too little capsaicin (easy to remedy with Pure Cap)

The Wolf Sauce at Smokin' Al's is pretty darned good, and not too
expensive. Fairly often, I will baste with Maull's, then remove the
chicken or pork and put it into Wolf Sauce.

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I appreciate the passion of
your hatred for the sauce.
