Their truck was bumping good music and getting the party going. I decided to try what they had. I tried their Pulled Pork Nachos. They were okay. The BBQ tasted good but the dish needed more of it. The pineapple slaw was a no go for me. I didn't see a single pineapple in the slaw and it lacked the flavor of so. I did enjoy their BBQ sauces. They had multiple options: Original, Smokey and Tennessee Red (which was my favorite)! I'm giving Blue Hog 4 stars because I'm reviewing the sauce and the sauce was the saving grace. If I was reviewing the BBQ overall it would have been lower.

As we shopped a couple of the local gift shops in town, we kept seeing their label on products. We thought, why not go directly to the source and were glad we did. Pappy's makes some of the most amazing and delicious jellies and relishes. I love jalapeño jelly and they had several kinds. They also bottle and make Tony's Bloody Mary Mix which is a product out of Fenton, MO. What was so impressive here, was the customer service. The gentleman/owner who was working truly showed his passion for their product. It was just as if we were in a Traders Joe. He had no problem opening product for us to try. Of course, it worked. Everything we tried we bought. The Zucchini Relish was a winner for all of us. I bought the "Hot", but it does come in a regular temp as well. The shop hours are limited. They are only open Monday - Thursday 10 AM - 5 PM. However, according to their website, if you need anything outside these hours, just let them know and they would be happy to accommodate you. Again, amazing customer service. However, as I stated, the product is all over the little town of Washington.
