Merced native Zach Mussotto created and sells his own bbq sauce called “Mad Moose BBQ” which is now sold in several stores.
“A couple years ago I got really into bbq, I would go out to stores and buy bbq sauces all the time,” said Zach. “Everything just tasted the same. One day I went home and tried to create my own bbq sauce recipe. Once I found one that I liked, I canned it in mason jars. I sold it to family and friends. It eventually got to the point where I couldn’t keep up with the demand anymore.”
Zach would then get a hold of a co-packer and bottling company so they could take the recipe and put it into bottles so it could be sold in stores and meet all legal requirements.

- The taste is described as a vinegar based sauce, tangy, and not real sweet, and has a kick of heat at the end.
Mad Moose BBQ is now sold in six different stores, according to Zach.
Here are six stores you can buy Mad Moose BBQ at: Richwood Meat Company (Merced), Save More Market (Merced) The Market Modesto (Modesto), Chopping Block Butcher Shop (Modesto), and Austins Meat Service (Ripon)
