About Denny Mikes

Since launching in 2006, our line of handcrafted seasonings and sauces has earned over 60 national awards from respected organizations like the National BBQ Association, The Fiery Foods Challenge, and Best in Barbecue. Retail favorites include our signature Pixie Dust and Chick Magnet seasonings, along with our top-selling Sweet ‘N Spicy and Mesquite Madness sauces. Loved coast to coast, our full lineup is known for bold flavor, consistent quality, and a loyal following. Dennis Michael Sherman discovered authentic barbecue while traveling in Texas and Mexico as a college student. In the 20-plus years since that introduction, DennyMike has nurtured his passion, and in 2002, he opened DennyMikes’ Smokehouse BBQ and Deli in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. He was unhappy with the rubs and sauces available commercially…everything had either too much salt or unnatural sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup. So, in 2006, after years and research and recipe development, he launched his own line of sauces and seasonings. His focus from day one was to create a line that was all natural and gluten free, using only the finest ingredients available–no high fructose corn syrup and far less salt than most. He meticulously crafts the line of premium sauces and seasonings as versatile enhancers ideal for both indoor and outdoor cooking. Whether customers prefer seasonings or sauces, the company motto holds true: “one taste is all it takes…” and they are quickly committed DennyMike’s fans.Read their story
