About this episode

In this episode, Jamie Grout interviews Speed 'The Sauce Man' Herrig about his journey into the BBQ sauce business.

Since I'll be busy this week at The Jasper County Fairgrounds with Stacy Wilson compiling reports on what the 4-H and FFA youngsters are doing I'll be replaying some of the best interviews I've had in the past year. In this podcast I interviewiewed Speed Herrig who is know for his Cookies BBQ Sauce. I'm sure you've seen is catchy commercials over the years and if you go to this years Iowa State Fair you'll see his rib wagon. His story if getting into the BBQ Sauce business is very interesting. As you'll hear he was in the automotive and auto parts business and stumbled into the BBQ Sauce business through a lawsuit. Enjoy this best of podcast with Speed "the sauceman" Herrig.
