I popped in at my local supermarket Lucky's to get just a few things. I rounded a corner and spotted the familiar bright yellow label that caught my eye. I still get goosebumps seeing my mother’s sauce on a supermarket shelf. Next time you are shopping, pick up a jar or two of Everett and Jones Barbeque “Super Q” barbecue sauce. We have come a long way since 1973. Who remembers when the only way you could buy our sauce was you had to bring your own container, and we would go in the kitchen and fill it up. If you were at the Berkeley restaurant and forgot to bring a container you went next door to the Can Food grocery store, bought a quart jar of orange juice and told us to pour it out and fill it up with some medium sauce...LoL. If you were at the Fruitvale restaurant and forgot to bring an empty jar you went next door to the Liquor store or across the street to the Black & White Market and bought a jar of juice and brought it back to us to fill it up. We got so much free orange juice ...LOL. Ahh yes, the good old days!
