The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the retail landscape and consumer spending. With the closure of bars and restaurants, the demand for packaged food and beverages for consumption at home has significantly increased. This has led to increased demand for jarred food, such as pasta sauce, BBQ sauce, pickles and salsa.

Whether you are grilling out or cooking in the kitchen, BOB has put together a few recommendations (in glass containers) to try the next time you are at the grocery.

Scott’s Barbecue Sauce

The roots of Scott's Barbecue Sauce go back to 1917 when Adam Scott started the business in Goldsboro, N.C. The sugar free, fat free barbeque sauce is a true Eastern North Carolina sauce, as the first taste releases a mild vinegar tang. Immediately after, an earthy chili powder flavor comes in at the same time the tartness amps up. Both flavors continue to build to create a tingly burn on the tongue that leaves a final extra spicy and tangy taste that lingers for quite some time. Many online recipes focus on using Scott’s Barbecue Sauce for chicken, but it is also a great match for other poultry meat.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is not your ordinary barbecue sauce. This gluten free, all-natural sauce can add excitement to any backyard barbeque. The Roasted Garlic Honey has a pleasant mix of sweetness and zest to give the mild lovers out there a taste of that iconic “kick.” The Garlic Chipotle Pepper sauce starts out with intense flavor but smooths out into a mouthwatering taste. For those interested in a bold flavor, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que offers its Devil’s Duel sauce. This sauce offers a roller coaster of spicy flavors and is intense, so it is not for the faint of heart.

Michael’s of Brooklyn Marinara Sauce

Family owned and operated since 1964, Michael’s of Brooklyn offers three generations of pride and excellence. Michael’s of Brooklyn Marinara Sauce is packaged in a 32oz glass jar that is packed full of flavor. The non-GMO and gluten-free sauce is made from natural ingredients with tomatoes imported from Italy. If you are looking for a sauce that tastes homemade, then this is the sauce for you.

Rao’s Homestyle Bolognese Sauce

You can bring home the taste of authentic Italian pasta served in Rao’s legendary New York restaurant in this 24oz glass jar of Rao’s Homestyle Bolognese Sauce. This Bolognese Sauce is a mouth-watering combination of naturally sweet, Italian tomatoes, beef, pork, pancetta and vegetables. Your family will think you spent hours making this delicious sauce!

So, whether you are in the mood for grilling out or homemade tasting pasta from a jar, we hope you’ll try these great brands the next time you are at the grocery.
