Paddy's Daddy's BBQ Sauce

06/03/2025

Hey all!

After an extremely busy couple of years with the day job, I've moved on to a new firm and have been back to making sauces to try to make friends at my new job, through bbq sauce bribery. For the short-term, I'm limited on being able to ship, but I do spend most weeks driving between Chicago and Indianapolis. If you're somewhere on that path, I'm all for making home deliveries!

Local Indianapolis Homemade BBQ sauces

Hey all! So, some unexpected, exciting news for Paddy's Daddy's BBQ Sauce. While the work life has kept us super busy lately, we were just asked by The Patachou Foundation to be involved with their summer event: https://thepatachoufoundation.org/events/summer-dinner-on-the-farm

Part of the plan is to ramp up the BBQ sauce machine and allow for orders that can be hand delivered or shipped over these next 8 weeks. As some of you know, The Patachou Foundation has been one of two main benefactors of my BBQ sauce hobby and they do wonderful things to combat the high level of food insecurity for youths in Indianapolis. Side note: I proposed to Christine at Bar One Fourteen, one of the restaurants in the Patachou family, run by the amazing Martha Hoover.

More info to come, including an updated website for PDBBQ. For those local to Indy, please consider joining the event in person on June 29th! Ticket info is in the link. If you're not able to join, please consider ordering some sauce and making a donation!

Hey all! While we here at PDBBQ took a break from making sauces in the summer (turns out spending 4-5 hours in the kitchen is less appealing in the summer vs the winter), and then were further delayed by spending October working on supplying BBQ goodness at a couple of local get togethers. After that, we were all set to spend November and December in the lab working on sauces, but then I broke my wrist. I know I owe sauce to a couple of you. We're finally ramping back up after Christmas and are excited to share a couple new flavors with you all as we head into the new year!

After a brief snoozle through the end of winter Paddy and his daddy are ramping sauce production back up and are ready to make deliveries and shipments. Text, message or email with orders. Still free and we still love the organizations that inspire us so consider them as well:

The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders
The Patachou Foundation
The Humane Society of the United States

Another cool milestone for PDbbq today as I was able to partake in the usage of the Memphis Blue Label sauce in the wild. I stopped by the Oasis Cafe in the lower level of the Regions Tower downtown, where my good friend Chef Yousef works. The lunch special there is a delicious fried chicken wrap with lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes, bacon, diced onions and Memphis Blue Label sauce. Sure, I'm biased, but I thought it was delicious! For those of you working downtown, or like myself, hopefully returning to start working downtown in the coming months, please check out the Oasis Cafe and order the lunch special!

PDbbq Expansion News! Acquisition of a new garage fridge = more than tripling room for making more sauces! As always, if you'd like some sauces sent your way, just message, email ([email protected]) or text me. Thanks again to everyone who's made orders this past month or so, provided feedback and, most importantly, donated to the 3 wonderful charities! Over 300 bottles of sauces have been delivered thus far and I don't even know how much has been donated by you all, but I know it's a lot!

Welp, it's Friday night and you know what that means....well, maybe you don't so I'll tells ya. It means my fridge is overflowing from a week of making BBQ sauces and I need to empty said fridge so I can make some more next week. Same drill as always, if you'd like some sauces, send me a message, text or email ([email protected]) with your selections (works best if you pick 3 or 4 flavors). Cost is $0.00 dollars. On a completely unrelated note, below are my 3 favorite charities, in case you'd like to throw them some dough. Thank you SO MUCH to all those who have already generously donated to these amazing causes!!!

The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders
The Patachou Foundation
The Humane Society of the United States

Alright everyone, I have a bunch of local deliveries being made during the day tomorrow, so if anyone in the Indy area wants to be added to the route, let me know. And Monday I'll be sending out a bunch of shipments. I still have enough inventory to handle 3 or 4 more orders for those outside of Indy. Let me know if you'd like some sent your way!

Today is huge!! The first day that Paddy's Daddy's BBQ is sent outside the 317 area code! The first 3 to make orders are each celebrities in their own right:

- My wonderful godmother Aunt Maribeth Rasmussen and Uncle Tom Rasmussen, the ultra-dapper couple in the wedding photo below
- Josh Chambers, who perfectly timed this shipment to go out on his wife Erin Chambers's birthday, as he's well aware that there's no better aphrodisiac than BBQ sauce. Giggity
- Kyle Sherlock, who like me, arrived in Iowa City as a freshman, weighing less than 130 pounds, but unlike me, walked out of Iowa City 4 years later, still weighing less than 130 pounds

Order lines are still open! Thanks to the 3 above, and many others, who have sent their orders, and more importantly, generously donated to the wonderful causes behind this endeavor!!

Alright y'all, after a super busy afternoon and evening in the kitchen, it's time and Paddy's Daddy's BBQ Sauce is ready to start making shipments!! As I may have mentioned, in lieu of any payments, I ask you to consider donations to 3 of my favorite charities. Details on the charities and sauce flavor options are on the site: www.paddysdaddysbbq.com

For info on the charities, you can also go each charity's page:
The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders
The Patachou Foundation
The Humane Society of the United States

The shipping boxes I have are ideal for orders of 3 or 4 bottles. Feel free to text me your orders, email to [email protected] or send me a message through facebook. I'm hoping to have most orders out by this Tuesday!

Big step for Paddy’s Daddy’s BBQ Sauce this weekend! Picked out packaging for shipping the sauces. Just need to get some packing paper this weekend then should be ready for orders early next week. More to come!
