Brooksmade Gourmet Foods
The Brooksmade Gourmet Foods starts a long way from the sauces, condiments and rubs you see today. Founder Walter Brooks experienced food insecurity firsthand as a child. His entrepreneurial drive was strong, leading him to find success in the hospitality and automotive industries. A life-changing medical event turned him to what would become his true passion in life: cooking.
From the unexpected chocolate barbecue sauce that first brought him local fame to his barbecue restaurant and catering company that attracted a diverse fanbase, Walter has always been committed to delivering food that tasted good no matter the request or occasion. His regulars pushed him to experiment with new flavors within his traditional techniques yielding a line of sauces and rubs, Brooksmade Gourmet Foods, that brings to life his vision of delicious, unexpected, soulful food to every American kitchen, with the promise to nurture the next generation of Black entrepreneurs through mentorship.
