Dennis M. Sherman, the barbecue guru known as “DennyMike,” won silver and bronze medals for his Maine-made sauces and rubs at the annual National Barbecue Association conference in Memphis, one of the nation’s barbecue hotspots.
In blind taste tests, DennyMike’s Carolina-Style BBQ Sauce won a silver medal in the “Vinegar Spicy Sauce” category. “Fintastic,” a seafood rub, won a bronze in the “Mediterranean/Herb Rub/Seasoning” category. Sherman’s “Hot ‘n Nasty” sauce won a fifth place award in the “Tomato Spicy Sauce” category.
