Chef Bradley Gourmet Creations + Giveaway Now (It’s Over)!
May 13th
2008
UPDATE: This giveaway is officially closed. We only had 16 jars to give away, and got 60 comments today. Thanks for your interest. We’ll announce the winners at the end of the week. Stay tuned!
Why do we love fried foods so much? Once fried, the food almost never tastes like itself any more, so what do we do? We get some yummy sauce to re-flavor the food. Frying is bad for us, but most of the time, the sauces we use for dipping only make matters worse. That’s what Chef Bradley hopes to change.

Chef Bradley has developed a line of healthful, better-for-you sauces that, I must say, are quite tasty. They sent me four jars, one of each of their flavors.
Remember the shrimp (left) we blogged about a few weeks ago? Well, I dipped my shrimp in the Lean Mean Ketchup and the Sweet Zing BBQ Sauce.
I had the sauces in two, little bowls, both of which were licked clean by the end of the meal. I will admit that they lack the depth that you’ll get from more conventional (sugar-filled) options, but for me, the good-for-me component outweighs any flavor loss.
The BBQ Sauce is zingy and sweet (just like the name says), and the ketchup is rich and tomatoey. I know I have a lot of moms who read this blog, so I’m always happy when I find food that’s good and good for us. I bet kids will never tell the difference.
Surprise! Another giveaway!
Chef Bradley would like to share a few of its jars with our readers. Here’s what we’ve got to giveaway:
- Lo Carb Lean Mean BBQ Sauce: 4 jars
- Lean Mean BBQ Sauce: 4 jars
- Sweet Zing BBQ Sauce: 4 jars
- Lean Mean Ketchup: 4 jars
This is a first come, first served giveaway (that starts now!). Comment on this post to claim a jar (make sure to include which sauce you’d like to try in your comment). Limit one (1) jar per Sooper Hero. There’s a limited supply, so these jars will go fast.
Like with all of our giveaways, you have to:
- Be a registered Sooper Hero
- Be interested in the product (and not just want something free)
- Be willing to blog about what you get (and link back here and to Chef Bradley)
Good Luck and GO!







Looks like my insomnia has come in handy for once.
I’d love to try the Lo Carb Lean Mean BBQ sauce!
Posted by Lexi on May 13th, 2008 at 6:05 amI would love to try the Lean Mean BBQ sauce…I don’t BBQ enough but this would definitely get me out on the grill…
Posted by Sarah on May 13th, 2008 at 6:07 amI would love to try the Lean Mean BBQ sauce…I know that would inspire me to get out on the grill…
Sorry if this posts twice…I think I hit spam when I post…
Posted by Sarah on May 13th, 2008 at 6:08 amWhat a great concept! I have been trying to get my husband(the notorious ‘drown my food in condiments and sauce guy) to eat more healthy. We would love to try the Sweet Zing, although they all sound fabulous and I would happily sample and blog any one of them.
Posted by Lindsey on May 13th, 2008 at 6:15 amThanks Blake!
Looks like waking up early is working in my favor!
I would love to try out that Sweet Zing bbq sauce. Sounds delish!!!
Posted by sarah on May 13th, 2008 at 6:21 amWicked waking up to a BBQ sauce giveaway!
I’d love to try Lean Mean BBQ or Sweet Zing.
Posted by Laurie on May 13th, 2008 at 6:31 amWell it’s nice to see that somebody’s trying to make a flavorful condiment without all the “junk” that often accompanies them!
We live in an apartment — with no grill pan *cries* — so we’re always looking for flavorful sauces that are still healthy, to try on our dishes!
I’d be interested in the lean mean bbq sauce — or the sweet zing — both sound delicious!
Posted by Kelly Blechertas on May 13th, 2008 at 6:34 amMmmm yummy! Those look delicious! I would love to try either the sweet zing BBQ sauce or the lean mean BBQ sauce… and your suggestion of tempura shrimp to eat with the sauce sounds wonderful!
Posted by Allison on May 13th, 2008 at 6:36 amDelicious! I would love to try the lean mean BBQ sauce because I would rather have the heat without too much sweet. Sounds tasty!
Posted by Gretchen Noelle on May 13th, 2008 at 6:48 amThis sounds tasty!! I would like to try the Sweet Zing BBQ sauce, but really, I am not picky at all!
Posted by April on May 13th, 2008 at 7:06 amHow exciting I made it in time! I would love the Lean Mean BBQ Sauce or the Sweet Zing if the first one is gone.
Posted by Nina on May 13th, 2008 at 7:06 amI would love to give a sauce a try. This would be my first event and I am super excited to participate.
Posted by Paula Antes on May 13th, 2008 at 7:08 amI would like to try the Ketchup - it rules my world, but I’ve never had one besides Heinz. But, I’ll try anything!
Posted by Carrie on May 13th, 2008 at 7:10 amI’ll try anything. We aren’t picky around here!

Posted by Carrie on May 13th, 2008 at 7:27 amP.S. Review of Amano Chocolate on my blog to come soon. I haven’t forgotten!
I’d love to try the Low Carb sauce - I had weight loss surgery a few months ago and am supposed to be taking it easy on the sugar, and have had issues with finding a tasty low carb bbq sauce.
Posted by Columbus Foodie on May 13th, 2008 at 7:28 amI am kinda sweet and zingy…that sounds funny! I would love to try it and blog away

Posted by Carrie on May 13th, 2008 at 7:29 amI would love to try the BBQ sauce, but all of these sound great! I hope I’m not too late!!

Posted by Cara on May 13th, 2008 at 7:43 amOh oh oh I would love to try a jar of Sweet Zing BBQ Sauce. Or whatever you feel the urge to share with me.
You rock!
Posted by Amber on May 13th, 2008 at 7:46 ami would love to try the low carb..i have been on low sugar/carbs for a few years now due to a few medical issues and have found several great recipes except good marinades. i find they are too bland or too oily when they try to reduce the sugars in the marinade. i would love to try this low carb sauce and finally enjoy some bbq again without putting my healthy at risk!!!

Posted by brilynn on May 13th, 2008 at 7:56 amLooks like I may be a bit late to the game today! If you get any additional jars to giveaway, we’d love the sweet zing! We’ve been on a bit of a “frying frenzy” the last few weeks, fried shrimp, tilapia and anything else that’s not moving (or so it seems)! LOL!
