From Our Family to Yours
The Story Behind the Sauce
Freddie’s story begins on the South Side of Chicago, where family meals were full of soul, and the grill was the heartbeat of every gathering. Raised to value hard work, loyalty, and flavor that speaks for itself, Freddie learned early that food could bring people together in powerful ways.
When life brought him to Colorado, Freddie brought his roots with him. He followed his passion for business and community, launching a gourmet popcorn shop, a fast-food joint, food trucks, and eventually a full-service restaurant. But no matter the menu, one thing kept standing out:
The sauce.
Customers asked for it by name.
They wanted it bottled. They wanted it at home.
They wanted more.
Then came 2020. As the world changed, so did Freddie’s path. He listened to what people truly loved, and made the bold decision to bottle up the heart of his story.
That’s how Big Poppy’s Barbecue Sauce was born.
Today, Big Poppy’s is more than a sauce.
It’s the flavor of resilience.
The taste of family tradition.
The reminder that it’s never too late to build something that lasts.
Every bottle is a tribute to where we came from, and a gift to every table we serve.
From our family to yours, welcome to the Big Bold Flavors of Big Poppy’s.
