Mantis wins at National BBQ Association Awards of Excellence and at the International Flavor Awards

East Moriches NY, June 9th 2024 Mantis Ghostly Glaze keeps winning industry awards.

Accolades continue for Mantis Ghostly Glaze. Following a first place finish at the 2024 National BBQ Association Awards of Excellence in January, Mantis Ghostly Glaze also received a second place award in the International Flavor Awards, Artisinal category. Used by competition cooks, home chefs and food service, Mantis Ghostly Glaze is a versatile sauce that delivers a unique flavor profile, starting a bit sweet and finishing with some heat.

“As newcomers to the bbq sauce and seasoning industry we are honored to have won two such prestigious awards. It is clear that our unique flavor profiles and quality go hand in hand with our mission to support the Kidney Project while helping to spur creativity in cooking. The zest of everyday life is something we want everyone to enjoy,” said Andy Mantis, co-founder of Mantis BBQ.

10% of all Mantis BBQ sales go directly to The Kidney Project, in support of artificial kidney development, a permanent solution to help millions of people facing kidney failure lead a more flexible lifestyle, without dialysis.

While many consumers will use Mantis BBQ products for barbecuing and seasoning meat, poultry, vegitables or fish, the products are designed to be enjoyed for other creative culinary purposes, as ingredients used in dips, on popcorn, waffles and for ice cream toppings.

Savory, cause-driven Mantis BBQ products are available to retailers, foodservice operations and BBQ enthusiasts nationwide, and can be found in retail locations in the New York Tri-State area, select locations nationally and at MantisBBQ.com.
