The Secret Sauce (2021)
Review from a BBQ Guy
I liked this movie. It was fun and lighthearted! For contexts, I'm a BBQ contest winner, chef, culinary writer, and BBQ cookbook author. And I've worked with sponsors so I know how that works.
Yes, this movie followed the standard format & the plot points we've come to expect from these types of movies. But the two main characters had good chemistry. There were light hearted moments, funny lines, good writing, and the soundtrack was not repeated loops of boring music that played under every conversation.
Loved the side characters - nice sub plots! One thing that bugged me, they kept saying "grilling" which is high heat direct cooking while BBQ is low and slow. That's just a small thing, but I'm sure other BBQ people noticed. Overall, this was a movie I enjoyed watching.
