BBQ Sauce Review – Willow Ranch

Wood Ranch BBQ Sauce

Wood Ranch BBQ Sauce

If you are ever on a mountain bike road trip from LA up north, stop by this restaurant in Buttonwillow, CA for the BBQ and get a bottle of sauce to-go. Well worth the stop.

We found a good BBQ Sauce.

Posted in Uncategorized by hollywoodprobicycles on August 1, 2009

Last week at the Calabasas Farmer’s Market, we tasted some really good BBQ sauce, but got strawberrys instead because we forgot to bring enough cash with us. Anyway, all week we thought about getting the BBQ sauce (Blue Bus Barbecue’s Sweet ‘n Smokey Sauce) and grilling some chicken.   We did today and think it was really good, there was pineapples  in it or something like that giving it a little texture and good taste.   And, apparently the only way to get the sauce is to find the guy and his Volkswagen Blue Bus at the Farmer’s Market.   If you are in the greater Calabasas area on a Saturday check it out.  Sometime this week we will try the Blue Bus mustard and let everyone know.    We have also decided to review BBQ sauces from now on. 

Our new hobby is BBQ sauce reviews.
