About Grill Party BBQ®
Gourmet seasoning brand with special blends, used by southern grill masters for nearly 60 years, made for you to use at home at your next home barbecue. All Grill Party BBQ Seasonings are 100% Allergen Free from Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, Soy, or Wheat.
Barbecue (aka “BBQ” or “barbeque”) is the ultimate cooking style of food loved all across the country and the perfect reason to set up your friends and family gathering! In the words of the infamous Anthony Bourdain ”Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it’s a start!” Our team spent years perfecting a blend of spices and herbs that can be used universally on any type of meat and every type of official barbecue method: Smoking, Roasting, Braising, and Grilling!
No matter how you spell it if you’re anything like us – you think of a perfect afternoon where you heat up your grill and get ready to create the most epic meal. Our top-secret formulas go back to the early 1920s where traditional southern barbecue cookouts created an authentic, rich southern smokey flavor that brings every type of grilled meat masterpiece to life. Our gourmet spice blends deliver an unforgettable flavor with lip-smacking flavors of garlic, onion, salt, paprika, red pepper, citric acid, ginger, or just a hint of chili pepper warmth without carrying an overwhelming sugary sweetness!
Our handcrafted seasonings pair perfectly with meat-based protein and vegetarian/vegan options too. You can use these gourmet blends anywhere – whether you fire up your kitchen oven, are getting ready for your grill party outside, are about to start a smoking/roasting/baking session, and even out on the open range – it will bring out flavors that are authentic “barbecue.” Shh, don’t tell the pit/grill master in your house, but we’ve even seen some people use this blend in their salads too!
