Gates BBQ Sauce - 40 oz - 2 Pack - Kansas City Legend

Description

As a flavor enhancement, Ollie Gates discovered a method of combining a unique mixture of spices in this tomato based sauce, to create an excellent seasoning to intensify the flavor of meats, veggies, salad dressings and dips.
The Gates saga began in 1946 when George W. Gates decided that a family-owned and operated restaurant would be more enticing than life with the railroad. He pooled his resources and opened “Gates Ol’ Kentucky” at 19th and Vine which was the first of the now thriving restaurant chain known today as “Gates Bar-B-Q.”
During 1949, as the population began to shift, a move was made to 23rd and Charlotte – however a dream to open a bar in conjunction with the restaurant drew him back to 19th & vine in 1951. This dream was shortlived – a major fire occurred in 1951, forcing him to move the business to 24th & Brooklyn and remain there until 1957.
Despite all adversities, George Gates continued to persevere and managed to maintain the high quality of food and the same distinctive flavor of the barbecue sauce. In 1954 a second restaurant was opened at 12th & Highland and operated alongside the 24th & Brooklyn facility.
The year 1956 proved to be a decisive year for the Gates family. The business underwent a name change to “Gates & Son’s Bar-B-Q” – due to George Gates’ son, Ollie, now taking an active role in the operations. Having worked in the business after school, summers and weekends while in school and college, Ollie learned the business thoroughly. With a college degree in building construction and the invaluable training he received in the United States Army School of Engineering, Ollie felt it was time to embark upon his barbecue restaurant/lounge at 31st & Indiana under the name “O.G’s”.
Ollie called upon his reservoir of college and military training and experience to become an important factor in the design of the barbecue oven, the traffic flow lay-out for both customers and employees and the design of the lounge.
