About Us
It's All In The Sauce Bar-B-Que was established on November 5th, 1998 in West Tampa, Florida. One man’s search for great Bar-B-Que and life’s curveballs led Tyrone Wilson to open It's All In The Sauce and here’s the story of how it all started in his own words.
I think I was born to find good Bar-B-Que. Being born in West Tampa Florida, I was accustomed to good Bar-B-Que from the age of 5. In 1983, I started my search for the best BBQ pork sandwich with a great sauce. In 1984 I was working at the highest volume tire store in Tampa (and probably the world) and in 1985 I was promoted to manager. I was searching for a great BBQ pork sandwich to feed my staff. I went to the place where everyone told me was the “best BBQ place in Tampa”. What I received there was a fatty, very gristly, sandwich with a “ho-hum” BBQ sauce. I was not happy at all and went back to tell the owner. He told me that I didn’t know anything about Bar-B-Que and to “get out”!

This was not my only unhappy occurrence that day. My employer told me when I got back to the tire shop that he was not going to pay me the $10,000+ bonus that he owed me. What could I do? I only saw one choice. I gave my 2 weeks notice and told my wife that I was going to open a BBQ restaurant.
She replied with, “Are you crazy!?!? We don’t have any money and you’ve never worked in a restaurant!” I said, “I can at least do as good as the so called ‘best’ and I think I can do even better!”
26 days later, “It's All In The Sauce Bar-B-Que” opened in beautiful West Tampa! The rest, as they say, is history!”
