The Slabs, also known as Tom & Josh's Orgasmic Slabs, began as a competition barbecue team in the Kansas City area. They still compete, but they also make a killer barbecue sauce.
The sauce is of course a KC-style sauce. It has a deep, rich burgundy color, flecked with bits of various spices. It's relatively thick and ketchup-based and the embedded spices make for a mouthfeel that is kind of grainy. The sauce is definitely sweet, but also prominently features the bold flavor of cumin. There are also notes of apple, onion and tamarind, and a nice mild cayenne pepper burn at the end. The unique blend of flavors, especially the cumin, sets this sauce apart.

This sounds just like the kind of sauce that would go good in my collection of fine sauces. I really am interested in trying this.
