Why “42”?

When it comes to BBQ flavors, your place on the map matters. The “42” identifies the latitude of Buffalo, New York. While each flavor is inspired by different regions and BBQ capitals of the country, every bottle is crafted right here in Buffalo, New York, using as many WNY ingredients as possible, making it something uniquely our own.

Our Story

From the heart of South Buffalo, Que 42 was created by award-winning pitmaster Eammon Azizi and Bridget Thornton. The mission is to craft authentic flavors from America’s BBQ capitals, with a Western New York twist. The approach is to add as many layers of flavor possible, so that every bite is like sipping a fine wine or bourbon. Made for BBQ and much more, these sauces and rubs are great on veggies, potatoes, and tofu. Proud to use only natural ingredients, without fillers, high fructose syrup, and never added preservatives.
