Jack Thompson BBQ Sauces

Most people think of Jack as one of Australia's favourite actors, but what many people didn't know before was that he is an accomplished BBQ chef.

Wanting to help support Landcare Australia, for whom he is an ambassador, Jack asked us to bottle his original recipe sauces and donate a portion to this worthwhile cause.

Jack's Original BBQ Sauce

Named Jack's original, because it was the first one he developed.

Jack's Old Smokey BBQ Sauce

Once you have tried it, you will unable to go back.

Jack's Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce

Excellent as a marinade for chicken, and fish. Great with sausages, chips, and sandwiches.
Try it as a dipping sauce with steaks and roasts.

In the beginning there was a chilli patch on a very green hill overlooking Byron Bay. Jalapeno chillies thrived in the rich red soil. With a little help from our neighbouring farmer, and some compost from the old Byron piggery, our little chilli patch grew strong in the light of semi-tropical summer.

Meanwhile, we purchased a well-used taco van that had been operating at the Byron Markets. Most Sundays we would hook up the caravan to our trusty, rusty ute and wind our way down the hills to one of the local markets. In those marvellous, busy days we served soft tacos, burritos and nachos like the markets had never seen before.

From the start, wanting our food to be exceptionally tasty, we knew we would have to make our own salsa. After long days of trial and error in our little kitchen we arrived at what we considered to be two respectably authentic recipes.

It wasnt long before regular customers asked us to bottle the salsas so they could have some at home as well as with their market burritos. And thats how Byron Bay Chilli Company was born...
