GRILL ‘EM ALL “NAME THE METAL BBQ SAUCE” CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 at 12:00pm by

grill 'em all truck

The Grill ‘Em All food truck — Los Angeles-based mobile proprietors of delicious metal-themed burgers — is releasing its own BBQ sauce! And we asked you to help come up with a name for it. After much deliberation and many hilarious entries, Chef Ryan has made his selection. Here’s a note from the Chef himself:

Hey there, rippers!

First off I’d like to thank all you maniacs for helping us find a name for our amazing BBQ sauce; you out did yourselves for real! There were some really tough choices: “Baste ‘Em All,” “Napalm Breath,” “6 6 Sauce,” and of course, “Hammer Smashed Baste!” Awesome!

Unfortunately there can only be one winner, and our personal favorite for many reasons (one of them being that it was the least offensive, haha!) is “Mosh Pit Barbecue Sauce,” submitted by rattlehead.

So congratulations, rattlehead, your name is officially going on our barbeque sauce! Here’s a picture of a bottle with no label and also a picture of what is coming to a grill near you!

Thanks again to everyone who responded, and look out for Grill Em All’s MOSH PIT BBQ SAUCE in stores soon!

Ryan

P.S. – Jimmy, “Grilled In Action” is amazing, although I don’t think anyone would get it, haha! (my old bands name was Killed In Action)

Congrats to rattlehead and everyone who participated. Rattlehead will get two bottles of the newly named Mosh Pit BBQ Sauce as well as a Grill ‘Em All t-shirt in the mail, and as for the rest of you, make sure you watch The Los Angeles Food Trucks episode of Food Wars featuring Grill ‘Em All TONIGHT, August 18th at 10 pm EST on the Travel Channel.

    I dont wanna come off as a hater….But I am very un impressed with that name. Congrats to the guy that got the win but i am very surprised by that selection. Seems to easy and cliche.

    • Brian

      I totally agree…after having such a contest, you think they would have picked something wittier. The chef should have been able to think that one up on his own.

    I hate Time Warner for getting rid of Travel Channel. Time for an angry e-mail!

  • Kuranes

    “Municipal Baste” was so much better.

    Literally every other name in that article was better

    • Stu

      Yep

  • Deven

    Mosh Pit Barbecue Sauce sounds kinda lame. They should have gone with Napalm Breath.

  • Gaia

    Hmmm what is that Metal Archive douche’s name… anyway he would say Weaksauce.

  • annaliese

    ahhhh i liked so many of the other ones better. mosh pit bbq sauce? not special enough! too easy, chef ryan.

  • annaliese

    this should have been left to voting, maybe.

  • brad

    that’s a stupid name.

  • brad

    really.
    maybe even like..

    sauce the omniscient…
    sweating bullets…
    captain mansteel’s super awesome sauce’em.

  • Matt

    lame

  • esteban

    bad call… they picked the most underwhelming submission as the winner.

    zzzzz

    Haha!

    Let the hate begin! Sorry dudes, we couldn’t use band names and we couldn’t use anything offensive or too out there. The sauce is going to be in neighborhood grocery stores. I know there were a ton of really funny/clever names, but this one had the easiest ring to it. Remember we actually want to sell the sauce!

    The most imposrtant thing is that its the best bbq sauce you will ever take to your face, ever!

      I’m glad I read all the comments before posting!

  • B-dizzle

    Napalm Breath was way better

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Acerra/508945856 Michael Acerra

    you gotta look at the big picture. hammer smash baste or napalm breath actually made me laugh out loud, but if that’s what it’s called, who besides metalsucks readers and dudes with beards are gonna buy it?

  • http://www.schenkeltown.com SchenkelTown

    that’s it? you needed a contest for that bullshit name? now i don’t even want to try the sauce for the simple reason that the name sounds like something that a bunch of suits decided on while sitting in a board room.

    • Stu

      Fight the establishment, brother!

    • esteban

      If I see at the store I might still pick it up, but if I didn’t know any better I’d think this too. “Just some 50 yr old douchers in suits at a board meeting somewhere came up with the name for this”

    • Chainsaw Majini

      This was a great comment.

  • robocop420

    I remember reading the comments section on that contest and laughing at almost every one. They seemingly picked the only one that is unfunny and uninteresting. Nice job?

    Come on, HAMMER SMASHED BASTE!?!?

    • Stu

      You should smash a bunch of bottles, just to show your discontent!

  • Brendan

    They could at least spell it Mosh Pit-BBQ Sauce.

    Terrible. The pun isn’t even clever.

    Motley Barbecrue was the best submission.

  • justin sane

    the name doesn’t roll off your tongue at all. if the sauce was spicy, i could see napalm breath being the perfect name. simple, easily say-able and memorable. mosh pit bbq sauce sounds bad, has no phonetic flow, and that guys right, sounds like someone in a suit tried hard to make up something “metal”.

    if i was in your town, i’d give you guys some serious shit for this, and thats bad since i’m way too old to care about this crap. its just that it comes off as lazy to pick such a lame name for your sauce.

    • Chainsaw Majini

      Man, this comment was fuckin awesome. And I agree!! The name sucks. I mean, gimme a break. “Devil’s Cum” and “Dragon Taint Sweat” were better names.
      I love how everyone is relentless on this toolsuck “mosh pit barbeque sauce” lame name. It sounds so weak!

  • OliFant

    I agree with everybody : this is totally lame !

    You were not allowed to use band names ? Well, tell me about a band called ‘Napalm Breath’ ? I know ‘Napalm Death’, right, no ‘Napalm Breath’… It’s like I wouldn’t be allowed to name my band ‘Filth No More’ because it sounds too much like ‘Faith No More’ !

    And tell me why a non-metal lover would buy a “MOSH PIT barbecue sauce” ? This is a far more obvious reference to metal than the others for the uninitiated, and moreover it’s not even funny or compelling or anything.

    Well, anyway, congrats to the winner, but most of all, thanks to all the other submitters who were far better !

  • Scourge441

    I’m with everyone else. The name sucks ass.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Richard-Adragna/18902481 Richard Adragna

    Wow! Talk about an utter facepalm.

  • nick

    serious. why would someone in the stores wanna buy mosh pit bbq sauce. if i knew nothing about metal at all i would still consider a lot of the other names over mosh pit. sounds so corny. you might as well have posted this contest on a jonas brothers and simple plan site and you would have probably received a more metal name…
