Gabrick Barbeque
Every Texas recipe starts with a story, and this is a tale of perseverance and flavor
When Austin Texas Covid-19 mandate forced their food trailer to close in March 2020, a choice arose: adapt or fade away. Instead of surrendering to uncertainty, they transformed the popular barbecue sauce from a trailer staple into a bottled treasure, turning crisis into opportunity. The mission remained unchanged – delivering a “double portion” of heartfelt hospitality, now captured in every bottle produced.
The sauce line began with three distinctive flavors: Texas Tang, Sweet Heat, and the Spicy Red. Each sauce proved to be a perfect companion for everything from beef brisket to seafood, winning over thousands of satisfied customers. The family grew a year later with the addition of Candy Jalapeno®, which quickly became a customer favorite, followed by Sugar Peach in 2024.
Behind these beloved sauces stands Mark Gabrick, whose barbecue journey began in Kansas City and flourished in the heart of Texas and Florida. Under the guidance of champion pit-masters through the Florida BBQ Association (FBA), Mark mastered the intricate art of barbecue. His food truck in Tampa became legendary, drawing crowds and earning recognition from the city’s Mayor, who regularly invited him to municipal events.
Mark’s expertise caught the attention of industry leaders, leading to consulting roles with prestigious restaurants and collaboration with the National Restaurant Association’s President. His success expanded beyond mobile dining when he launched an award-winning brick-and-mortar restaurant concept.
The accolades kept coming. Mark’s sauces have ranked among the Top 20 world’s best at The Kansas City American Royal, and earned him the State Flag of Texas from Governor Abbott.
