Their story

Chin Dribblin' is the work of Ali Schlichter, a trained chef in the Denver area who does nearly every job in the business herself, from cooking to photography to packing orders.

She started making sauces on the side in November 2020, while restaurant work during the pandemic was wearing her down. A late-night conversation with a friend turned into a plan, and by July 2021 the sauces were her full-time work.

The line started small at local spots like FlyteCo Brewery and the Evergreen Farmers Market, and includes a steak sauce that doubles as a Worcestershire stand-in, a Kung Pow-style sauce and a curried beer mustard made with FlyteCo.

How it's made

Schlichter builds her steak and Asian-style sauces on low-sodium tamari, which keeps them gluten-free. She aims for roughly half the sodium and sugar of many comparable bottled sauces, and the beer mustard is made in collaboration with a local brewery.

Why we carry them

We like a sauce that comes from one cook's kitchen, and these show it. The steak sauce is a handy bottle to keep by the stove for marinades and burgers.
