Lewis Barbecue's new Secret Sauce to anoint meals with next-level flavor for divine dining experiences nationwide
CHARLESTON, S.C., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- While the world watches Rome for white smoke to announce a new pope starting this week, Lewis Barbecue has a revelation of its own from Charleston, officially dubbed the Holy City, on this side of the Atlantic: the launch of its long-awaited Lewis Barbecue Secret Sauce available for nationwide shipping at www.lewisbarbecue.com.
Texas native and acclaimed pitmaster John Lewis is renowned for his Central Texas-style barbeque, which gets his signature low-and-slow treatment. Billowing smoke is a familiar sight at Lewis Barbecue, the legendary barbecue joint named by Southern Living Magazine as the best in South Carolina this year. But this time, the smoke from Lewis' exclusive self-designed pits signals something new: a recipe-friendly Secret Sauce ready to be enjoyed on everything from ribs and burgers to veggies and even morning eggs.
"We have been quietly developing this latest creation in-house over many months to give our fans something to enjoy with our barbecue or with all kinds of other foods at home. We think its versatility will make it your kitchen go-to, adding a little flavor bump to whatever's on your plate," said John Lewis, founder and pitmaster of Lewis Barbecue. "We're having some fun with the timing of the sauce's debut as it just happens to align with the Vatican's upcoming news, and the 'Holy City' and smoke signal correlations are just too perfect."
Lewis' Secret Sauce is a kitchen essential ready to bless everything from grilled dishes and marinades to stir-fries and dressings—bringing heavenly flavor to everyday dishes. Crafted with a vinegar, molasses, and mustard base, it is versatile enough for all kinds of meals, from brisket to breakfast. The sauce's flavor profile is sweet, bright and tangy with just a slight bit of heat to wake up the taste buds.
Just in time for grilling season, the new Secret Sauce can be pre-ordered nationally online or purchased at Lewis Barbecue's locations in Charleston and Greenville, South Carolina so homecooks can enjoy the bold and soulful flavor that marks John Lewis' famed barbecue. Anyone who signs up to pre-order the new Secret Sauce at www.lewisbarbecue.com by Friday, May 9 will have a chance to win $100 credit for Lewis' legendary smoked meats, sauces and rubs delivered nationwide.
