Our Story

How did B.T. Leigh's get started? 

I’ve always loved cooking. I come from a family of farmers and spent a lot of time working in my friend’s parents’ restaurants growing up. As an adult working in tech my wife surprised me with a grill and I immediately turned it into smoker. That’s when the BBQ bug hit. I started smoking every weekend and selling meat by the pound to my coworkers. Eventually I began making sauces to go with the meat and they started ordering the sauce to share with their friends and family.

In 2017 my wife and I moved to KY and decided the time was right to turn this sauce hobby into a real business. We expected it to be a little side hustle selling sauce at the local farmer’s market, but soon gained some pretty big exposure by winning a handful of international competitions proving our flavors were on point. Now we’re sold nationwide and, look forward to continuing to grow the line.
