Wake Forest barbecue sauce wins 1st place

Dimples BBQ Sauce, the creation of Wake Forest couple Rich and Jan Campana, placed first in the tomato mild contest at the National BBQ Festival's 2012 best of the best barbecue sauce competition in Douglas, GA.

The sauce also won reserve grand champion.

Jan Campana explained that she and her husband moved to the Triangle eight years ago from California and became immersed in North Carolina's barbecue culture. Her husband joined a competition barbecue team and started testing sauce recipes. After lots of positive feedback, Jan Campana, then a stay-at-home mom, decided to try to turn their sauce recipe into a business. Two years ago, Dimples BBQ Sauce was launched.

A 16-ounce jar costs $5 online at dimplesbbqsauce.com. The website also lists local retailers that carry the sauce.

We're giving away a jar of Dimples BBQ sauce, thanks to Jan and Rich Campana. To enter to win, leave a comment below this post before noon, Friday, Jan. 25. I'll choose a winner at random and the Campanas will send you the sauce. Good luck.
